I'm confused a bit. Well, I'm confused a lot.

As said in past posts, I've got a minor problem (sometimes the system freezed) to another bigger: I could not enter Salix.

Now I can go to Salix. Don't ask me what I did. I touched a lot of configurations and something was well.

Then we have returned ...

This is so weird. Did you change any of these files you mentioned earler?

/kernel
huge.s
bzImage
config
system.map.gz


No.
I haven't intentionally modified any other files.

The directory tree is organized as follows:


salix64-xfce-15.0.iso
EFI
BOOT
tools.cfg
osdetect.cfg
initrd.img ...

The original salix64-xfce-15.0.iso runs well. It starts the installation, but I aborted it. And, on second thought, it would be easier and faster to install the original iso. When installed, I could change the kernel.

Nothing happens.
The installer also freezes.

At what point exactly does it freeze? You say "Just after trying the language". Is that right at the grub menu when you select the language to boot the installer? Or is it when you're trying out the keyboard, after the installer starts?


It is when I'm trying out the keyboard after the installer ...

Sorry, but it's not going well.

Just after trying the language, it freezes and it is not possible to move forward.

In the salix64-xfce-15.0.iso there are these directories:
salix64-xfce-15.0.iso
EFI
isolinux
kernels
salix
aaa
basic
core
efi
efi-gui
full
kernels
kernel-6.12.37-x86_64 ...

I've tried to change the content of /kernel in the salix_15.iso for to the content in the slint. It does not go.

In the salix.iso, there are these directories:
/kernel
huge.s
bzImage
config
system.map.gz

In the slint one, there is no kernel directory, but it has
/boot
grub
font
i386.efi ...

I'm afraid that I'm obliged to reinstall the entire Salix.

Any idea?

More precisely: Could I install the Slint kernel instead of the original when reinstalling?

My problem turned worse.
I'm writing these lines with the help of a live disk, because after some manipulation (I can't remember what I exactly did) the system was broken and the warning "kernel panic" arose.

Memtest has been running for more than nine hours and no error vas found. Because I needed the machine I aborted memtest.

Then, I must have a new kernel. But in my system there are four kernel packages: k-firmware, k-headers, k-huge and k-modules. In the Slint repositories I cannot find k-huge and ...
