Hello! I'm using add-fd-handler in my server, and everything works in raw terminal. However, when I start server from Slime, I have to call (SB-IMPL::SERVE-EVENT) manually to get my callbacks called and client's request answered.

What platform? What is the value of swank:*communication-style*? I routinely use serve-event in combination with slime and sbcl, so I can confirm that everything should work correctly, at least if you use :fd-handler communication. Maybe you're on a threaded platform, and slime's threaded communication is somehow blocking serve-event? If that's the case, the easiest solution might be to spawn a thread that just calls into serve-event.
