    Exclamation Kali Linux 2016.2 hangs on install?

    Hello,

    I've recently attempted to install Kali Linux 2016.2 in Virtual Box.
    I got the .iso file (x32 bit) and afterwards did all the basic pre-install junk
    with virtual box and enabled "pae/NX" in the virtualbox system settings.

    Afterwards when I tried to run a 'graphical install' the entire VirtualBox seemed to just 'freeze'.
    There was an underscore ( _ ) in the bottom left hand side of the screen that stopped blinking about three minutes into the installation.

    After about 20-25 minutes I 'powered off' the virtual machine, turned it back on, and then tried to do a regular install.
    I got the same results -- just a frozen _ at the bottom left-hand side of my screen.

    Attached is a picture of what I'm talking about: KaliError.jpg

    I'm not sure if this helps but the last message that appears right before the hang
    is something along the lines of: "Trying to (free?) the frame buffer..."

    Go into your BIOS and make sure to have VM turned on.

    Hope this works
