Black screen during installation on laptop with Nvidia adapter

[kappen]

Good morning.



I am trying to install Kali Linux 2018.1 64 bit on an Acer Aspire V15 Nitro which has an Nvidia GP106 graphics adapter.
Live install boots fine from a CD or a USB stick but trying a permanent installation on the hard disk always ends in a black screen after starting any of the installation options (graphics, advanced, text, etc.).

For several weeks I have tried all recommendations from numerous FAQs, forums, etc. with no solution.
I have tried different boot command line options like:

nouveau.modeset=1
nouveau.modeset=2
i915.modeset=1
i915.modeset=2
(quite was eliminated)

And obviously impossible ones (as Nvidia does not support VGA modes)

nomodeset
vga=ask
(different resolutions were tried)

The last three were hopeless, I know, but I am losing hope. No solution published anywhere worked until now.

Does anyone know working command line options?

I could post the dmesg from the live installation but I do not want to clog up the forum if someone has an answer at hand.

Any help will be appreciated greatly.

nomodeset quiet splash is the required parameter.

I had tried nomodeset quiet splash among many others before but it does not work.

Any option on the install menu (graphical, text, advanced, expert) and all of the parameters tried so far always brings me to a black screen.
I have also tried the speech synthesis to install but there is no way to understand the robotic voice at all.

Unfortunately, I cannot use the HDMI port either because there is no output signal at this time of the boot process.

Right now, the only way I see is to remove the harddisk from the laptop, put it in another device, install in there and put it back in the original laptop. Not my preferred way of installing.
I still think there may be a boot command line option that works. Any ideas would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
