View Full Version : Kali Linux not booting from USB - ACPI Requires [Package]

Hello everyone,

First, this is a part of my laptop configuration: Dell Inspiron 7000 series with Nvidia GTX 960, Win 10, EFI system.

Now the problem: I made a bootable Kali Linux USB with persistence using USB Installer 1.9 and MiniTool Partition Wizard. (twice)

When I want to boot I switch from UEFI to Legacy boot mode (unsecured) and select boot from USB.
It shows the Kali Linux boot menu and I select boot Live with persistence (obviously) but when the OS loads it stucks at this:

ACPI Warning: Argument #4 type mismatch - Found [Buffer], ACPI Requires [Package].

It is from the fact that Nvidia Optimus and Linux are not compatible? If so how do I change something as I don't have access at my USB Linux OS? I should use another PC?

Any suggestion is welcome,
Thank you
