Oh, and since you mentioned it, does your debian derivative freeze too?
The other OS (Debian's son, which has a 6.1.0 kernel) does not freeze. For this reason I believed (after verifying it was not a temperature problem) that a new kernel would be the solution of the issue.

You still need to copy the new kernel and initrd to the EFI directories.
Which EFI directories? There are no such folders in the /boot, nor the Salix one, nor the other one.
Edit: In the other OS, there is a /boot/efi directory, but it is empty.
Another question: should I decompress the kernel's .txz files before put them in the /var/lib/packages?

From the other OS, you need to mount the EFI partition to the /boot/efi directory. What is the output of
and what are the contents of your /etc/fstab in the other OS?

No! Definitely not! You should not even put the packages in /var/lib/packages. What made you think that? That directory is populated automatically when a package is installed.

I wasn't expecting that. It seems that you're not using UEFI and using the legacy BIOS mode. In that case, you can skip those instructions about the EFI partition.
But you'll need to make sure that the /boot partition is common between the two distributions. If that output you provided is from the other OS, what do the same commands show under Salix?

You posted the same fdisk output twice. This should be the same from both installations anyway. Can you post the /etc/fstab from salix?
