I worship at your feet! I tried my hand at recompiling the kernel by
enabling EFI, and I no longer get a kernel panic over the VFS problem!

Previously I was using the huge kernel because I just couldn't get
Slackware to boot otherwise. The kernel I'm using is half that size -
and I've no doubts that I can trim it down further from there by
removing stuff that I'm fairly sure I don't need (like ReiserFS, and
allsorts).

Rock-n-roll.
