Kali Not Booting after Nvdia driver install

[mmuk2002]

I followed the instructions here https://docs.kali.org/general-use/install-nvidia-drivers-on-kali-linux till the installation part and then rebooted as instructed. However I am not able to get to the login screen because I'm stuck on this instead:
[ 0.122942] platform MSFT0101:00: failed to claim resource 1: [mem 0xfed40000

Please help!! I am relatively new to Kali and Linux in general.

At "[ 18.202628] Bluetooth hci0: firmware: failed to load rt1_bt/rt18821a_config.bin (-2)" try pressing "Ctrl + Alt + F2" together to access CLI.
And if possible try typing:

apt install --reinstall ocl-icd-libopencl1 nvidia-driver nvidia-cuda-toolkit -y

this should reinstall nvidia driver
And after reboot, you might have to wait for few minutes before GUI shows up
+ currently nvidia-cuda-toolkit is unavailable from kali repo.

@Sammy98, this is completely unrelated, this is the bluetooth config that is missing.

Not sure if related, but https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/remix-os-for-pc/KeE_dnXThz8 suggests to enable/disable legacy boot.

In any case, make sure to run the latest kernel FIRST before installing nvidia drivers: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade then reboot. If you already tried installing drivers, I would recommend reinstalling if possible.

From what I found, you may install driver and cuda/opencl stuff automatically with apt-get install hashcat-nvidia
