Hello! I installed Slitaz Rolling on my uncle's old laptop (Compaq N7400 with 55GB of hard disk and 1GB of RAM) but it won't boot, it shows a black blank screen (when I install it without bootlader) or "LZMA is corrupted, system halted" (if I install it with bootlader). I tried to format the hard disk in ext4, ext3 and in ext2 but none of these tries have worked. Is there any solution? I've also tried to burn the ISO to different USB stick and programs too

Maybe I’m not the right person to answere this question ( beeing a novice myself )
I used Rufus to burn the ISO on a USBstick.
Than fired the computer up from that stick.
When it was running I copyed the ISO to the desktop and removed the live stick.
Slitaz keeps running in RAM.
Than I went to system tools and started the installer.
Clicked on install, scrolled down and clickt on continue install.
The next screen shows a number of lines to fill in.
There is a box that shows the ISO, click on it and the path is filled in.
It asks on which partition you want to install, make your choice .
Scroll down and click on install boot loader.
And than on install.Worked for me.

I've tried what you have both said but none of the two solution worked..I don't know if what I'm going to say could be a thing but when I create the system partition it shows "mkfs.ext4 -F -O ^64bit -L /dev/sda1".. could be this a problem ? Because as I said the computer has 1GB of RAM and I know that a 64bit system can be installed on a computer that has 4GB+ of RAM.. If I'm not wrong

Hi vero2925, have tried same iso on HP nx7300, and after installation the screen is blank....
it shows a black blank screen
My installation is on ext3, and to solve at boot of grub press “E” and then add at end “nomodeset”
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz root=/dev/sda5 video=-32 quiet nomodeset
This kernel not full support device Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)

@vero2925
Your notebook (nx7400) have same grafik card of nx7300, and probabilty the bug is identical.
If your installation not work, there is something wrong...
My step: burned iso on cdrom
launch live and install system with bootloader
at reboot add the nomodeset at grub
enjoy.Good luck! ;)

I've just tried to install the slitaz-rolling-core-5in1.iso ("Full desktop with gtkonly, justx and base alternatives, with 32 bits kernel and 64 bits Kernel. The default boot selects the best flavor according the RAM size. The Kernel is selected according the processor type.") but didn't work too

Warning: the installation with usb stick not work!
Edit: have create an usb stick with slitaz-rolling.iso
dd if=slitaz-rolling.iso of=/dev/sdb (on this case sdb is my stik)
set from bios legacy usb support enabled
launch from usb the live
from tazpanel installer on my case the usb source are detected /dev/sdb... but there is vrong the device are /dev/sdb1 !
close the installer, and the trick to temporary correct the installation is:
open terminal as root and then
rm /dev/sr0
ln -s /dev/sdb /dev/sr0
launch tazpanel installer and select the source “live cd”
for me work (exept to add the nomodeset at grub)Posted 6 years ago # -
