    Arrow Installed lastest Kali via USB stick, grub problems ?

    Hi there,
    I recently installed last version of Kali linux via USB using "Win32 Disk Imager" to burn it.

    After a succesfull installation, I noticed a few issues about grub (2.0.2 beta 86):
    • to update grub, I have to use update-grub and not update-grub2, is that normal ? (sorry if it's a stupid question, I come from a different Distro)
    • when grub is loaded, it seems buggy, for example sometimes it makes the video memory dirty for few seconds when I load windows
    • also, when I select an OS from the list using arrow-up key it crashes (hang up and stay still)


    So I actually don't know how to access Kali again,
    because I choosed Windows (option #2) as default,
    and can't go up to #0.

    I ask you a suggestion on what to do to avoid this problem again, on next Kali install.
    I didn't really change anything in particular after installation, I just updated packages and edited /etc/default/grub with a update-grub.

    Thanks,
    Nokao

    somethimes for that type of errors you can use boot repair cd
    also you should always check sha1sum before making boot usb/dvd

    It's possible some file was corrupted, I used an old USB stick to make the whole thing.
    However, I'm unsure on what caused the problem.

    I will just reinstall, cause this is a brand new installation, and then write you back if the same problem occurs again.
