Why?
It's the default engine, no need to declare it.

What error is reported?

Try looking in the file /var/lib/mysql/localhost.err ... might give some
info.

I'm using an older version of mysql and slack...maybe it's called something
else.

Should be in the same dir as the mysql databases

These two options together should be enough. I have always used "innodb"
(lower-case), but I'm not sure that makes any difference.

MySQL's default engine is MyISAM. To obtain a default of INNODB, it must be
explicitly configured.

Sure?
I use MySQL for some years under slackware, without any special
configuration.

/var/lib/mysql/<host>.err

tells for the last reboot (some hours ago)

080617 07:33:06 mysqld started
080617 7:33:08 InnoDB: Started; log sequence ...

Nothing with MyISAM.
