    Issue with installing on Intel NUC

    Hi Guys,

    I've been tasked with getting Kali to work on the Intel NUC, model number NUC5PPYH. Since it's very cheap and powerful for the money, sounded like a no brainer. Here's the issues I've run into:

    - Latest Kali-Rolling (2016.1) - I get through the install, then upon first boot it hangs on the fsck. I thought maybe the IO was slow and let it run over the weekend, come Monday it didn't finish. Upon rebooting the same issue occurred. I tried reinstalling using LVM partitioning, same issue. Also to boot, when trying to boot into kali live, nothing happens.

    - Kali 2.0 - Once again got through the entire install without any issues, when booting up I get the wonderful splash screen that something went wrong, system can't recover and that I should contact my administrator!! When trying to boot into kali live, nothing happens. I've tried both partitioning.

    Has anyone had an issue? Again, I am using the quad core pentium and 8 gb ram model NUC. Thanks guys!

    - Matt

    Possibly a display driver issue.

    When you hit the grub screen on boot, edit the line (by pressing e). Look for a line that starts with linux and ends with quiet. After quiet, add nomodeset and then press F10 or ctrl+x to boot.

    That's more of a workaround than a fix (if it works) but it will help determine where the problem is.
