    Problem Booting Kali via USB on Samsung Chromebook 3

    Hi guys!

    Unfortunately, I can't get my Chromebook dual booting into Kali via my flash drive.

    Here's what I've done so far:

    • I have installed the correct ARM image using Win32 Disk Imager.
    • I have put my Chromebook into developer mode.
    • I have repaired my Flash Drive with the command
      Code:
      sudo cgpt repair /dev/sda
    • I have enabled cross system booting with the command
      Code:
      sudo crossystem dev_boot_usb=1


    Now here's the problem: When I try to modify my partition order with
    Code:
    sudo cgpt add -i 1 -T 5 -P 5 -l KERN-A /dev/sda
    and
    Code:
    sudo cgpt add -i 2 -T 5 -P 10 -l KERN-B /dev/sda
    I get an error saying
    Code:
    ERROR: cgpt add: -t, -b, and -s options are required for new partitions

    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

    I'll provide my flash drive's current GPT table for reference:
    Code:
    start     size part contents
    0         1    PMBR
    1         1    Pri  GPT header
    2         32   Pri  GPT table
    15124959  32   Sec  GPT table
    15124991  1    Sec  GPT header
    Also, if it helps, I'm following these two guides:


    Thanks!

    NOTE: I'm completely new to Linux, and so this has proved to be a challenge; Sorry if I'm doing something obviously wrong...

    What does "cgpt show /dev/sda" look like.

    I don't think this will affect anything, but it's an 8 GB flash drive.
