   @romano: try with

   kernel /boot/bzimage
   initrd /boot/rootfs4.gz /boot/rootfs3.gz /boot/rootfs2.gz /boot/rootfs1.gz

   Yes you need to load 4 rootfs !
   How much RAM do you have ?

   @claudinei: your tips on button "install" is good, the install procedure that you describe worked for me, but when i tried to open tazpanel the password for root was no longer good. So , in console i must invoke the command tazpanel passwd for retype the password and with tazpanel stop and tazpanel start i was able to open tazpanel again.

   Worked for me, finally! Thanks, it looks much better than 3.0 or even cooking. Nicher button, icons, freshly polished surface.
   What did you do with the software as in my case the ,,official" iso did not make it possible to get an Xscreen, so you offered a second ,,special" one. I would like to understand what has been done to solve the problem. I say it again: in the last months Xserver problems were the main headaches with slitaz in case one uses a bit aged nvidia graphic cards.
   And finally - why does this software not run on it?
   http://sourceforge.net/settings/mirror_choices?projectname=kompozer&filename=current/0.8b3/linux-i686/kompozer-0.8b3.de.gcc4.2-i686.tar.gz
   May be my brain is too small to understand the reason. It runs on 2.0 with ease; there was an earlier cooking where I had to install seamonkey to make it run. A pity, really...

   I spent a few hours to test the new rc1 slitaz4 report some problems.
   I can not appreciate improvements in boot speed, graphics retards several tens of seconds to show the desktop (I also tried the version is the same defect but http://is.gd/TazDevISO) unique version of previous functioning properly Xvesa hope becomes available for this.
   According to the connection pppoe bug is missing the file / usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5/rp-pppoe.so not work without it.
   The keyboard only works with standard settings en us, even if the location is correct.
   Only in the closing sprint to get a real shutdown
   I appreciated their efforts but IMHO it has been said many times that SliTaz is not ubuntu and now me dressed like that :/ there is no problem for me in half an hour I have erased all traces, but it was not a good impression this choice.

   Thanks for your time

    I tried to use 4.0 RC1 on my Eee PC 901. First I tried to use it with unetbootin which lead to a Kernel panic as many other users described above. Then I copied the Iso-file content with the "dd" command to the USB-flash which worked without any problems.

    Like in former releases (3.0 stable, 20110531 cooking, rolling releases) the x server only started with a resolution of 800 * 600 (instead of 1024 * 600). Using tazx always made it worse (only in stable 3.0 it worked folllowing the documentation...), x didn't start after logging out from x.

    But the 48MB version (the cooking-devel-iso) worked with the correct resolution out of the box. Without any tazx configurations!

    I continued the successful ,,2. offer"-iso.
    It works,but again with tawzeb the user cannot add bookmarks. Wrong permissions?

    The libraries problems with Kompozer I ironed out, as I guess.
    But:
    tux@slitaz:~/Desktop/kompozer.0.8$ ldd kompozer

    kompozer:
    ./kompozer: error while loading shared libraries: ./kompozer: invalid ELF header

    @developers: what does this mean?

    when installing it to a HP mini 210 (natively) I'm having a kernel panic.

    It´s the same problem what @romano posted about.
    (I am not using VM)

    Feature request: Enhance the boot menu with localization -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wanted to see the boot menu and keyboard in my language. And I needed to edit the boot menu prompt. I choosed "german" and it booted. Something I didn't expected. I expected a language change only. So it would be nice to make it work that way.
