Thread: Kali v2.0 not booting on Utilite Pro

    Kali v2.0 not booting on Utilite Pro

    This is the image I have downloaded:

    http://images.kali.org/kali-2.0-utilite.img.xz

    SHA1 sum seems OK:

    Code:
    a99ab6d487287f63931817db81eed70497e115c7 *kali-2.0-utilite.img.xz
    These are the steps I have performed (from the Utilite to the SD Card):

    Code:
    $ xz -d kali-2.0-utilite.img.xz
    # dcfldd if=kali-2.0-utilite.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512k
    # poweroff
    Then I manually press the power on button, but the device starts to the pre-built Ubuntu Linux 12.04 on SSD internal disk, instead of booting to Kali v2.0.

    Tested with 2 different sd cards: 32GB and 8GB.
    The 32GB card with Kali v1.0.9.
    The Utilite Pro device booted fine with Kali v1.1.0

    What else could I check?

    did you try the 64 bit version

    try to make this

    dcfldd if=kali-2.0-utilite.img of=/dev/rdisk bs=1M

    istead of :

    dcfldd if=kali-2.0-utilite.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512k

    you have to find out your disk number by typing this:

    diskutil list

    These are the images for Utilite I have found:

    https://www.offensive-security.com/k...mage-download/

    It seems there is no 32 or 64 bit version.

    Excuse me, but why would the "bs" parameter bother here?
    And why should 1MB be better than 512k?

    According to the "man dcfldd" :
    bs=BYTES
    force ibs=BYTES and obs=BYTES
    ibs=BYTES
    read BYTES bytes at a time
    obs=BYTES
    write BYTES bytes at a time

    Sorry, but I don't understand you.
    There is no "diskutil" tool on my Ubuntu 14.04. What Debian package is it included into?
