I have Kali ISO loaded onto a USB which I have booted into then used "Graphical Install" to install Kali onto another USB stick which I intend to use as the main drive for the OS
I have my boot order setup to load into this USB..
The install seemed to go fine, no obvious problems.. was a little slower than I expected but put that down to the USB I loaded the ISO onto was only USB2.0
I removed the install USB and booted into the OS..
I experience a black screen for about 10-15 seconds with a flashing icon.. then it loads into BusyBox and gives me the initramfs command prompt..
Above all that I see the following:
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot arg (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls dev)
ALERT! /dev/sdg1 does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
Any Ideas??
I didn't setup partitions during the install, I used entire disk (as the USB will be entirely used for Kali).. the system setup a 33gb swap and the rest "/"
If you need anymore information to help pinpoint the issue please let me know.
I tried this twice thinking the first install went a bit funny but got the same result both times.
