System hangs

[Van_Vinkle]

Nothing happens.
The installer also freezes.

OK, so that does not make much sense. There is nothing at that point that has to do with the new kernels. It should have worked exactly as the original iso.

Can you try the original iso, without the updated kernels? Does it go past that point?

[Van_Vinkle]

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.

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.

Wait, but you did change the files in the /boot directory?
