No local zones were loaded. Did you create one? If not, there's no way 
you would get data from it. Aha, I think I see one down below. Errors 
from named will be logged in /var/log/syslog, in Slackware. That will 
tell you why your zone failed to load.

I can't try to read that with all the \=A0's, but named-checkzone(8) 
would read it for you and offer some critique.
