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.
