Dear friends,
I downloaded the latest rolling-64-iso. When it boots it stops at the moment when German language and keytab files are loaded. No reaction then anymore.
It happens both whether I boot from the CD or via bzImage/rootfs.gz files.
What to do?

When I transfer slitaz-core64-iso with date of 2020-06-28 to /boot in a Linux mint, then use GRUB2 (from Linux mint) with the following menuentry:
[c]
menuentry 'SliTaz 5.0 rolling 64bit, (loopback)' --class gnu --class os {
recordfail
gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
set isofile=/boot/slitaz-rolling-core64.iso
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
set root='hd0,msdos6'
loopback lb $isofile
linux (lb)/boot/bzImage64 rw root=/dev/null lang=de_DE kmap=de-latin1
initrd (lb)/boot/rootfs.gz
}
[/c]
to boot from the ISO file in loopback mode, all works fine.

Thank you very much, dear HGT. But that does not explain to me why my CD hangs (freezes) when booting and does not tell me how to intervene.
(In which file on Grub2 do oyu enter this menuentry?)

@HGT
When I mount -o loop slitaz-rolling-core64.iso /mnt/loop
and look there in /boot there is no bzImage64 but a bzImage. And no rootfs.gz but 4 different rootfs-files (1-4). Booting from your menueentry does not work. May be this is the reason?
In case I use the classical frugal-boot approach with
linux /boot/bzImage root=/dev/null rw
initrd /boot/rootfs.1gz ... and so on: /boot/rootfs2.gz ...
then it boots but no X-screen is there.
May be these days I just have the wrong slitaz-thumb?

Are you sure you have download the right ISO? I can see bzImage64, vmlinuz-3.16.55-slitaz64 and only one rootfs in the one I've downloaded.
The menuentry that HGT gave to you is for GRUB2.
Maybe adding [c]nomodeset[/c] at the end of the kernel line? One of my old 32bit computer displays strange things if I don't use this option.

Thank you, Ceel!
You were right. I download from the list obtained from this site but it was wrong, apparently. I downloaded another slitaz-core44.iso and this behaved like you write. With Grub2 it did not work:
Can't find recordfail
/boot/slitaz...iso is not found
disk 'lb' not found
You need to load the kernel first
But with this iso-file a frugal boot (with bzImage64 and rootfs.gz worked and it behaves as I want slitaz to perform. I checked it out and found that everything works with
lxappearance 0.6.3 x-window
lxde 0.3.2.1 meta
lxinput 0.3.5 x-window
lxpanel 0.10.0 x-window
lxrandr 0.3.2 utilities
lxsession-edit 0.2.0 x-window
lxsession046 0.4.6.1 x-window
lxtask 0.1.9 system-tools
and dbus...18.
A bit strange for me but I can live with that. Please mark this as solved!
And have a splendid weekend,
Michael

@ michaelbischof
/boot/slitaz...iso is not found
[*]You made a mistake when you indicate the path or in the name of the ISO
In HGT menuentry: [c]set isofile=/boot/slitaz-rolling-core64.iso[/c] -> the ISO is in /boot
[*]or you don't indicate the right disk or/and partition
In HGT menuentry: [c]set root='hd0,msdos6'[/c] -> the target is sda6; ie, for sda1 use [c]set root='hd0,msdos1'[/c] (GRUB2 numbers the disks from 0 but partition from 1)
Have a nice week end too.
