      I will postpone solving the problem with the black screen for a while.

      New question: how to install antiX in persistence mode so that all changes in the system and all new files are saved in the “persistence” section?
      I managed to install it only through the automatic creation of homefs and rootfs.
      The program created files not on an ext3 partition, but on fat32.
      But I need to use the ext3 partition completely.

        To change where the location of the persistence files are, you need to use a boot parameter.

        https://antixlinuxfan.miraheze.org/wiki/Table_of_antiX_Boot_Parameters#Persistence_Location
        On a LiveCD, the default persistence device is whatever device has the disk label antiX-Persist. If you specify a persistence device with one of the three options below, the defaults are ignored.

        * persistdev=<dev> or pdev=<dev> will set the name of the <device> that hosts the persistence file.
        * persistlabel=<label>, plabel=<label> or plab=<label> will set the <label> of the partition that hosts the persistence file.
        * persistuuid=<uuid> or puuid=<uuid> will set The UUID of the persistence device.

        All options above will enable persistence even with no persist= boot option.

        You can also set the path of the directory that host your persistence files using

        * persistdir=<path> or pdir=<path>, where <path> stands for the directory path of the folder that stores the persistence files you want to load.

        Examples:
        * pdev=sdb2 sets sdb2 as the device which contains the persistence files.
        * pdir=Persistence/antiX19 will load your persistence files from that specific path /Persistence/antiX19 (that is the real directory path inside the device).

        You can set the UUID of the ext3 partition you mention with puuid=<uuid>, and the directory path pdir=<path-to-persistence-folder>. This is the safest method.
        Copy the rootfs and homefs files to your ext3 partiition, for example inside a folder named “antiX”, and thn edit the boot paramaters f the live USB. You can do it live from the same antiX USB; (if grub boot, edit /live/boot-dev/boot/grub/grub.cfg or if syslinux/isolinux legacy boot, edit /live/boot-dev/boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg file).
        To figure out the UUID of your ext3 device, you can run the command
        blkid
