Hi,
I got a MacBook 8,1 with an Nvidia and a Intel 915 gpu. First I installed Kali to a USB stick to boot Kali from that stick. All was working well. Then I decided to install Kali to the hard disk of the Mac. With that the problems started. I used: https://forums.kali.org/showthread.p...on-Macbook-Pro
I had to disable the 'nouveau' driver so the Nvidia driver works. I did it with:
This worked well from the USB stick. But from the harddisk I get the following when I try to boot via EFI:Code:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet nouveau.modeset=0'
...
...Code:i915 0000:00:02.0: Invalid ROM contents
and nothing happens afterwards. So I tried to blacklistthe i915 chip, because I found out when booted via 'super grub disk2' this module is also not loaded, but then X won't start anymoreCode:modprobe.blacklist=i915
On /dev/sda the EFI partition resides. When I boot I can see on the rEFInd screen the 'debian.efi' kernel which I tried to use to boot Kali.
grub.cfgCode:root@macbook:~/foo/EFI# ls * APPLE: EXTENSIONS debian: grubx64.efi root@macbook:~/foo/EFI#
So why does it boot via 'super grub disk2' and not when I use the EFI stuff? Why the Nvidia driver seems to not work when booted via EFI?Code:root@macbook:~/foo/EFI# cat /boot/grub/grub.cfg # # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE # # It is automatically generated by grub-mkconfig using templates # from /etc/grub.d and settings from /etc/default/grub # ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### if [ -s $prefix/grubenv ];

I'm happy about every answer.
BTW: tried to attach Xorg.0.log but get 'invalid file' even when compressed with bzip2
