Hi,

Made differents install of Kali since several years on differents platforms and supports without problems...but had a problem this time

A friend gave me an old laptop (2009 manufacture date), so the idea was to install Kali, to give it a second life.

Made a bootable usb using win32diskimager, with kali-linux-2020.2-installer-i386.iso, fine.

Got a little problem during the install ("starting up the partitioner" step, stuck at 45%)...tried several times, using differents usb keys --> problem resolved changing an option in bios:

Re-tried installation, was successful after the change, reboots and then, this:

Didin't had this problem on the differents install i've made before.

So, itried searching on this forum and someone gave a solution through this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/2322...ub-rescue-mode
But didin't works, as when i do ls, only (hd0) appeared (as shown on previous pic) and "insmod normal" gave me an error, whan i tried with only hd0 (error: unknown filesystem).

Tried also to boot in rescue mode with my kali usb key, to update-grub and to grub-install /dev/sda, but nothing changed.

The laptop is a Samsung NP-NC10, the HDD is an ATA Samsung 160go, HM160HI-(S1) (fully verified using hdd regenerator, no corrupted sectors on it) and the kali install is 2020.2 x86 (https://cdimage.kali.org/kali-2020.2...aller-i386.iso), using encryption.

Thanks !
