I may be wrong on this, but I seem to recall that the slackware kernel uses a framebuffer, while the debian kernels access the video card directly. If I'm correct here, and debian doesn't use a framebuffer, then I think that's the problem. BTW, how did you solve your boot issues, was it in fact the bios, or something else?
