Kali not booting...

| So I installed kali linux successfully but when I reboot my computer it just goes to grub. I'm not trying to dual boot, I also updated grub by installed Ubuntu but I have the same problem.


| What might be the problem? Google said it was a problem with dual booting, but I'm not doing that.


| And what does grub say?

btw, before we proceed, I hope you know that installing Kali on your harddrive is the wrong way. It's supposed to be run in live mode, unless it's for some very specific case.


| >>416321 nothing, it just opens the grub terminal. With ls command there's something like "(h01) (h02, gpt0)..."

When go in the bios, in the boot configuration, it shows me that I have Kali and Ubuntu as os but the Ubuntu should have been wiped completely.


Don't know much about kali linux but if it isn't supposed to be installed why is there an installation iso?

what is the output of the `set` command? Specifically the root= and home= values.

If you can figure out the partition you installed it to (like /dev/sdb2), you can boot like this.

set home=(hd1,gpt2)/boot/grub
insmod normal
insmod linux
linux (hd1,gpt2)/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sdb2
initrd (hd1,gp2)/boot/initramfs-linux.img
boot

You should go back to windows.


| >>416411 why?


| >>416321 how about updates? Do you burn the iso on the usb drive every time there's an update?


| >>416341
Looks like your BIOS is no BIOS but UEFI. It seems like the Kali Linux Setup did not set it up properly.

Not that gurl, but you can set it up so it's a proper filesystem on a USB stick, not just an ISO. Dunno if there's a special procedure for Kali but for Ubuntu I just used Rufus.
