View Full Version : Freeze while booting on Pi 1 (B+)

I am trying to run Kali on a Pi B+ 1.2, but after imaging the SD card and attempting to boot, the boot screen freezes at the message:

cgf802111: calling CRDA to update world regulatory domain
...and the boot screen simply freezes and the cursor stops flashing.
I have:

verified the SHA256 hash of the image
tried imaging the SD multiple times with both dd and Etcher (the tool recommended on the Raspberry Pi website)

so I'm quite sure the file wasn't corrupted somehow. I am thinking the file could be incompatible with that model of Pi (I am using the Kali Linux RaspberryPi w/TFT 2018.1 image).
Do you have any ideas on why this isn't working or any fixes?

Hi nm111,

Use this image instead:
https://images.offensive-security.com/arm-images/kali-linux-2018.1-rpi0w-nexmon.img.xz

The one you used does work, but it is configured for a tft display, i.e. when the screen freezes it has switched the output from hdmi to tft, which makes it tricky to use if you don't have a tft ;-)

Hope that helps.

The rpi0w-nexmon image boots on Pi 1 to shell but doesn't have desktop installed.
