I can get to GRUB menu and select Kali to boot, but just after it echoes 'loading initial ramdisk', the screen goes plain black and stucked there, no GUI/terminal can be accessed.
There's no any blinking cursor, but i noticed the backlight of the screen is working. Ctrl + Alt + F1 dont work.
I've tried nomodeset, grub_gfxmode=1280x1024x24, nolapic, as initially i'm thinking it has something to do with my graphic card, but they were unsuccesfull.
My laptop specs:
MSI GE60 2PE Apache Pro
1TB HDD
8GB RAM
NVIDIA GTX860M with Intel HD Graphic 4600
Can someone please direct me to any useful resource or suggest something that I can try?
Please do not hesitate to ask for further information.
Thank you so much!
