I'd suggest you take the coin cell out and check its voltage. If it's low ( <2v) put in a new battery.
Jim, Sigh. I thought this was the solution. It's not; there's more going on. After replacing the CMOS battery I set the boot device order as optical drive -> 'slackware' (i.e., the SSD with the UEFI partition and slackware installed). Then tried upgrading the BIOS firmware. That still did not work. Remembering that Ben wrote that the Asus board doesn't recognize a drive without bootable media I changed the boot sequence back to 'slackware' -> optical drive. Now, when rebooted it still hangs at the kernel vmlinuz loaded. Thanks for the idea!
