Black screen after grub MSI GS70 dual boot with Windows 8.1
I have a MSI GS70 Notebook, and I am tying to get kali-linux-1.0.8-amd64 to dual boot with Windows 8.1.
The notebook has:
- (2) SSD in RAID 0
- 1 TB hard drive
- Nvidia GTX 765m
- Intel HD Graphics 4600
Windows 8.1 is installed on the SSD, and Kali is installed on the HD. I can boot into grub, but after selecting Kali, I get a black screen (backlight is on.) I can use Kali with a live USB, but I would like to dual boot. I have tried searching the web, and tried every method I could find, but so far none have worked. Also the live USB of mint also gets a black screen, Ubuntu Live USB works.

Here is the grub commands:

Code:

setparams 'Debian GNU/Linux. with Linux 3.14-kali1-amd64' load_video insmod gzio insmod part_gpt insmod ext2 search --no-floppy -fs-uuid --set=root 44a41e04-4fca-4bf6-b6da-f686daec582b echo 'Loading Linux 3.14-kali1-amd64 ...' linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.14-kali1-amd64 root =UUID=44a41e04-4fca-4bf6da-f686daec582b ro quiet echo 'Loading initial ramdisk ...' initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.14-kali1-amd64

I have tried with no success:
- CTRL+ALT+F1 does not work.
- http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/842
- Boot-Repair (Had to reinstall Kali after using)
- nomodeset grub_gfxmode=1024x768x16
- nouveau.modeset=0
- nouveau.blacklist=1
- I tried to reinstall grub (and tried to install Nvidia Drivers) with this method: http://howtoubuntu.org/how-to-repair...ubuntu-live-cd
- acpi settings
- vga settings
Is there anything else that I can try? I am also curious as to why I do not get a black screen when I boot with a live USB of Kali, but get one with a installed Kali.

I would really appreciate any help!

Thanks!

From live mode post the results of

Code:

blkid

and

run the command:

Code:

parted

and then from within parted

Code:

print all

press q to quit parted

Also, list the contents of /boot/grub/grub.cfg

and within /boot/efi/EFI/'sub folders'/grub.cfg from the boot drive with the EFI partition. (not the live mode)
