View Full Version : Blank screen on installed Kali as dual boot on MacBook Pro "15 of 2013
I have installed Kali 2.0 as OS next to Mac OS X Yosemite (10.10.5). Everything seemed to be installed properly. But after starting GRUB and selecting the first entry Kali GNU/Linux I see a black screen as attached.

I am using rEFInd 0.10.0. The MacBook Pro has an Intel graphic card.
How can I fix this?
Thank you. Best,
Marcel
did you check and verify md5 and sha1 before installaton?
Yes I compared them, but they were unequal ... I already posted this a couple of days ago here: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?28109-Kali-Linux-64-bit-SHA-1-Hashes-Not-Matching
The .iso has been downloaded from an approved page.
It seems to be an issue with the graphics card on the MacBook Pro Retina or the high resolution (2880x1800). If I follow the instructions on this page (http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/842) by switching to the terminal on GRUB and entering nomodeset grub_gfxmode=1280x1024x24 it boots up and works.
How can I solve this issue?
Thank you, Best,

first of all solve this. download kali.img that is correct with md5 and sha1 and then start.
this is basic step
you can not install img that is not correct and expect it to work.
Hello duxim,
I have downloaded Kali as torrent and now the checksums are equal. I already reinstalled it. But the same error is still there.
