Rapsberry Pi 2 will not boot with Kali Linux v1.1.0.

[Sopalajo de Arrierez]

My RapsBerry Pi 2 B boots Ubuntu 14.04LTS fine in a 32GB SD HC Card, but it does not boot at all (nothing on screen) when trying with Kali Linux v1.1.0

I tried transferring the .img file from Linux by doing:

# dd if=kali-1.1.0-rpi2.img of=/dev/sdb bs=512k

and from Windows by using Win32DiskImager.
This is the result:

luis@Chomsky:~$ sudo fdisk -l
Disco /dev/sdb: 61.9 GB, 61924704256 bytes
64 cabezas, 32 sectores/pista, 59056 cilindros, 120946688 sectores en total
Unidades = sectores de 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Tamaño de sector (lógico / fÃ*sico): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Tamaño E/S (mÃ*nimo/óptimo): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Identificador del disco: 0x9b40c48c
El disco /dev/sdb no contiene una tabla de particiones válida

My Linux is in spanish, sorry, but the last line translates to: "/dev/sdb has no valid partition table".
I have tested this with a 8GB SD Card, and a 64GB SD XC Card, but results are the same (no image at all).
I have tried by firstly creating some valid ms-dos type partition table by using gparted, but it seems to be removed after the dd process.

What is going on here, and what could I check to solve this?

Thanks you.

I don't have Kali on my pi but I thought I'd ask,

Have you made sure the image you have downloaded has the correct sha1sum?

It is hard to believe that the .img file available at a so widely used distro like Kali Linux could be damaged, so the problem should be another one.

Have you made sure the image you have downloaded has the correct sha1sum?

Indeed, this is my obtained (by Total Commander checksum SHA1 generator):

485ea11cdaf9b0f89c798548ba4d9a64bc196129 *kali-1.1.0-rpi2.img

Maybe it could be worth to try any other RapsBerry image, like "Raspberry Pi A/B+" or "Raspberry Pi A/B+ TFT"? Of course I would prefer the RapsBerry Pi 2 .img.

This sounds like you might of had dropout on the usb bus of your computer try a different usb port and maybe a different computer

Finally solved: Firefox had (who knows why?) downloaded:

http://images.offensive-security.com....0-rpi2.img.xz

as a file named:

kali-1.1.0-rpi2.img

Note the missing ".xz" part.
I have detected it with:

file kali-1.1.0-rpi2.img

I saw the output info as not the appropriate for a image file.

Thanks you anyway, staticn0de (the SUM, indeed, was correct ;-) ).
