Hello all,
I've been having some unexpected issues with Kali when I try to boot up a Live session or try to install it as a second operating system on my laptop.
Whether I choose UEFI or 'regular' boot option from USB stick it gets stuck while initializing at around the same line [please see attached image].
I have tried with the USB boot stick created with Rufus v2.7 in both ISO [recommended] and DD image mode, both fail at initializing.
I do get the screen where I can choose whether to start a live session, troubleshoot or install but that's about as far as it goes.
My laptop is Asus ROG 552VW with the following hardware:
Processor
Intel® Core™ i7 6700HQ Processor
Chipset
Intel® HM170 Chipset
Intel® HD Graphic 530
Memory
DDR4 2133 MHz SDRAM, 16 GB SDRAM
Graphic
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 960M with 2G GDDR5 VRAM
Networking
Integrated 802.11 ac (Intel Dual Band-AC 8260)
Built-in Bluetooth™ V4.0
I would also add that I have the latest BIOS version from Asus and that even with default settings it still fails.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
