Check if the symlinks /vmlinuz and /initrd.img exist and point to the correct kernel and initrd, or change the boot menu so that it points to the correct kernel and initrd. Make sure the names are correct, too. Sometimes it's initrd.gz or other name.

If the symlinks were not right the kernel probably did not install properly. The iso should contain copies (not links) of vmlinuz and intrd.img (or .gz) in /live. Their md5sums should match what is in /boot of the installation.

Do what it says - look in /boot.log for clues, and if there's not enough information there, boot again with "debug" in the boot command line.

Edit the config file to point to the correct kernel and initrd.

In (slash)etc/refractasnapshot.conf
Code:
# Change this if you want the live system to use other than the default
# kernel and initrd. You may need to edit the isolinux boot menu to
# match the filenames. (Defaults are /vmlinuz and /initrd.img)

kernel_image="/vmlinuz"
initrd_image="/initrd.img"


change it to
kernel_image="/boot/linux-image-liquorix-<version>" and do the same for initrd_image.

If you aren't using /vmlinuz and /initrd.img symlinks, you'll need to edit the boot menu. There's a setting for that in the config file. Near the end, change edit_boot_menu="no" to "yes" and you'll get to edit it before the filesystem gets squashed.

Change /vmlinuz and /initrd.img to the correct kernel and initrd in the menu entry.
Code:
label live
   menu label Refracta (default)
    kernel /live/vmlinuz quiet
    append initrd=/live/initrd.img boot=live ip=frommedia union=aufs

might need to look something like this:
Code:
label live
   menu label Refracta (default)
    kernel /live/linux-image-liquorix-whatever quiet
    append initrd=/live/initrd.img.liquorix-whatever boot=live ip=frommedia union=aufs

I used these directions to install linux-image-3.13-5.dmz.2-liquorix-686.
http://www.debianadmin.com/how-to-insta ... n-7-0.html
I did not install linux-headers, because it needed a newer version of gcc that wasn't available. Maybe it is available, but I didn't pursue it.

The symlinks for kernel and initrd were correct after installing them. I made a snapshot without doing anything special for the kernel and initrd. The resulting iso boots in virtualbox.

Why do you want to use the liquorix kernel? Is it for the 1000MHz frequency? Do you notice a difference? I've tried recompiled debian kernels with the higher frequency and altered scheduling (can't remember what it was called) and I couldn't tell the difference from the stock 250MHz kernel.
