Hello
My goal is to use my live boot USB (kali verified) to install an encrypted install of kali, using the entire disk, on another USB stick.
Every time I try this, whether I choose Lvm, encrypted Lvm, or regular installs through the graphical option in the live USB, I end up with a failed partition command, with the following error:

Note that I have replaced variable information with "X" as sometimes it states partitions 2, 5, etc, and of course the drive designation varies based on the attempt,

Error: Partition(s) "X" on /dev/sdX have been written, but we have been unable to inform the kernel of the change, probably because it/they are in use. As a result, the old partition(s) will remain in use. You should reboot now before making further changes.


So how can I accomplish the install?
I have been trying for quite some time with no available resources on the web to help.


I'm trying to install 64 bit kali (2017.1) on an amd pc
I don't know what other information to provide hopefully the mod lets it though
