initrd /Slitaz/boot/rootfs.gz

ALL IS OK

---------------------------------------------------------

Maybe reason is new:

ROOTFS1.GZ

If your grub supports multi initrd (the grub of SliTaz 4.0 does), try :

title Slitaz 4.0

kernel /Slitaz/boot/bzImage root=/dev/ram0 vga=791

initrd /Slitaz/boot/rootfs4.gz /Slitaz/boot/rootfs3.gz /Slitaz/boot/rootfs2.gz /Slitaz/boot/rootfs1.gz

if your grub does not support multi initrd, do first

# cat /Slitaz/boot/rootfs4.gz /Slitaz/boot/rootfs3.gz /Slitaz/boot/rootfs2.gz /Slitaz/boot/rootfs1.gz > /Slitaz/boot/rootfs.gz

And try:

title Slitaz 4.0

kernel /Slitaz/boot/bzImage root=/dev/ram0 vga=791

initrd /Slitaz/boot/rootfs.gz

How its worked in my case: usb kingston data traveler 109 8GB formated NTFS file system

slitaz-4.0.iso file  in root directory on usb drive

menu.lst looks like:

title stilaz 4.0

map /slitaz-4.0.iso (0xff) || map --mem /slitaz-4.0.iso (0xff)

map --hook root (0xff)

chainloader (0xff)

lets say if you copy slitaz-4.0.iso file to boot directory on usb drive:

title stilaz 4.0

map /boot/slitaz-4.0.iso (0xff) || map --mem /boot/slitaz-4.0.iso (0xff)

map --hook root (0xff)

chainloader (0xff)
