Kali doesn't boot on new macbook pro 12,1

[andreapit]

Hi, I bought the new macbook pro with retina display and force touch, model A1502.
I'm trying to boot kali from usb, but it doesn't start.
I've downloaded the iso kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64 and I've make the usb bootable with

dd if=kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64/kali-linux-1.1.0a-amd64.iso of=/dev/disk2 bs=512 conv=noerror,sync

I've tried both the mac bootloader and refind.
After the selection of "Boot EFI" the screen still black and no more.
What can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance
Andrea

Try booting from the live cd and then select usb boot from the menu. Thats how I boot with my MBP.

The new MBP doesn't have cd drive to boot from live cd.

Hi,
install refind http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind/ first, then boot from the kali usb stick.

NOTE: after you install refind using to options, you will get an error that refind was unable to unmount the EFI partition. This is fine. Create a folder called "drivers" in,

/EFI/EFI/refind/

Copy the drivers from the refind archive

ext2_x64.efi and ext4_x64.efi

into this folder.
Reboot and you should be greeted with the refind boot screen. Boot from here and you should be good to go.

Also, if your new Mac has an NVIDIA video chip follow the following tutorial to get it up an running here ...

You should now be able to use the cuda cores for password hashcat and pyrit.
AND, you should be able to use the full gnome interface by running,

dbus-launch gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session session-name 'gnome'

Hello,
I have the same exact model and have tried the mentioned solutions to no avail.
If there is anyone who has managed to live boot kali using a usb drive on the macbook book pro early 2015 (12,1) I would appreciate it if they would post here explaining how.
Thx alot.
