    Question Kali Linux 2.0 install issue DELL XPS UEFI

    Hello!
    I'm trying install Kali on Dell XPS 14 (L421x) with UEFI.

    Image (amd64) burned into dvd.
    Legacy mode: Disabled
    Secure boot: On/Off
    Secure boot mode: Standart/Custom

    I tried different combinations of this parametres, no effect on result.

    After selecting a bootable device in UEFI, i get message "[device name] blocked by current security policy".
    Trying run debian jessie - same error, ubuntu 15.04 - start without any problems.
    How to change the image of kali for start?

    Thanks.

    I've been working with UEFI on my Lenovo for this issue myself in the past few days. I'm getting closer and closer to having a UEFI Dual Boot system running Windows 10 and Kali 2.0. It seems the UEFI structure on the Kali 2.0 disc is incomplete as I am busy trying to fill in the gaps. I am getting closer however by installing REFInd and then using EasyUEFI in windows to modify the EFI structures. I'm just getting to the point where I need more help on this area as I am totally Old School MBR/BIOS and learning UEFI is rather daunting, but I haven't given up yet!

    Things I've learned thus far:
    1> Kali Linux UEFI support is very minimal
    2> REFInd is proving itself very useful right now so I don't screw up my other partitions.
