SLIME loads some modules, e.g., SB-BSD-SOCKETS, with REQUIRE.  It
could be that you have to load ASDF before you can REQUIRE other
things (this was changed not very long ago).  Try
 
  (require :asdf)
  (require :sb-bsd-sockets)

in a normal REPL.  

If it works, add (require :asdf) to your .sbclrc, so that SLIME can be
started in the usual manner.

If it doesn't work, I'd suggest to upgrade to a newer version of SBCL.
