Fresh install of slackware 9.1, installed only the basics (no gui, extra
apps, games, drivers, and so on...). Every time I boot I get about 2
pages worth of messages, all something along the lines of:
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/i810_rng.o.gz: insmod
i810_rng failed
i810_rng not detected
insmod: /lib/modules/2.4.22/kernel/drivers/char/i810_rng.o.gz:
init_module: No such device

Did I not install something that's needed? No idea what this means, so
maybe someone could help me out. Thanks.

it's probably hotplug trying to load this module while you don't have the
device it's for. IIRC the way to stop hotplug from trying is to put the
driver in /etc/hotplug/blacklist.

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.

Add i810_rng to the bottom of te /etc/hotplug/blacklist file.

That was it, thanks.
