    problem booting the kernel in MAC OS

    Hello!

    I am trying to dual boot Kali Linux in my MacBook Pro. I have followed the official tutorial: http://docs.kali.org/installation/ka...n-mac-hardware

    After finishing the process, when I reboot the computer I can see in the rEFInd menu the two possible options (MAC OS & Linux). I select the Linux option and then I enter in a new menu where I can choose between two kali options (the normal mode or the recovery mode). Here comes the problem.

    If I select the normal mode, it starts to load kali linux but the procees stops with this message:
    Early console in decompress_kernel
    Decompressing Linux...Parsing ELF... done.
    Booting the kernel.
    _

    If I select the recovery mode, the process also stops.

    I don't understand what is happening. I have followed the tutorial step by step and I have tried it several times.

    Do you know any solution for this problem?

    Thank you!

    I have found the solution on the internet! Here it goes:

    1. Open the EFI folder in your macbook
    2. Change the name of the refind folder to boot
    3. Open the renamed boot folder and change the name of the refind_x64.efi to bootx64.efi
    4. Now, in the refind-bin-0.8.3 folder, open the refind folder and copy the folder called drivers_x64
    5. Paste it in the boot folder of the EFI
    6. In the boot folerd, change the name of drivers_x64 to drivers
    7. Reboot and you will be able to start kali linux with no problems!

    You can find the complete solution for this problem at this link http://www.maketecheasier.com/fix-du...semite-ubuntu/

    Hope it helps

    Regards!
