Upgraded to 3.16.55 and now I have no wifi (Ralink mt7601Usta) and cannot compile kernel module for it.
I have tried to use previous.gz and can boot it but upgrading to 3.16.55 has deleted all my previous kernel modules for 3.2.98 ... :(
Is there any way I can re-install 3.2.98 with it's associated modules?

This is strange, in my case reverting to previous.gz worked (also to fix wifi).
If you have previous.gz at all, means you run your slitaz in live USB mode, not HD install. Which means your whole old root FS of 3.2.98 should be in this previous.gz, including kernel modules. The only folder likely got modified after the upgrade was your /home partition (which saves changes to USB) with personal configs saved in /home/tux... So wondering why using previous.gz doesn't work for you.
But I'm too new to slitaz cannot say for sure, just thinking

Yes ... that's a new one for me too ... previous.gz has always worked before here in the past but this time it didn't.
I run a Frugal install of Slitaz from inside a Full install of Slitaz on harddisk so it runs from Ram ... that's probably what makes the difference.
Anyway I've got 3.16.55 kind of working now with a different older (not great) wifi adapter but still can't compile a driver module for my favourite mt7601u adapter.

Hi, I am also affected by the latest update, and I would like to keep this topic open until it is resolved. I have upgraded my Slitaz packages, and I have a similar problem now. My bootscript shows the following:

So, I don't have wifi and my screen driver doesn't load. All text is very large on screen, and mouse pointer flickers.
I am running Slitaz as a full HD installation, and I don't know how to make use of the above instructions regarding .gz archives. Can anyone please offer help to either roll back to previous linux64 kernel and modules, or provide a new build .tazpkg

You could be booting into the old kernel vmlinuz-3.2.98-slitaz64
The 3.2.98 kernel is trying to load the 3.2.98 kernel modules that were removed in the update.
Loading module: i915 modprobe: ERROR: ctx=0x8058008 path=/lib/modules/3.2.98-slitaz64/kernel/drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.ko.xz error=No such file or directory
Check the running kernel version:
uname -a
If it is booting into 3.2.98, verify the new 3.16.55 kernel and modules are on your system.
ls /boot
vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz64
ls /lib/modules
3.16.55-slitaz64
Edit your bootloader configuration to point to /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz64
The /home/boot/previous.gz is only on frugal installs where tazusb writefs gz is used for persistence of updates to rootfs. Does not apply to full installs.
