Kali Linux 2020.2a doesn't run on Raspberry pi 4 model b 8gb ram

[MarioD]

Hi,

I recently have a new 8Gb ram raspberry pi and trying to install Kali Linux on It but the process was faliure.

I've download Kali images from https://www.offensive-security.com/k...ux-arm-images/

Tried whith this two:
1- Kali Linux RaspberryPi 2, 3 and 4 2020.2a
2- Kali Linux RaspberryPi 2 (v1.2), 3 and 4 (64-Bit) 2020.2a

But in both cases I have one error in boot loader telling me that "start4.elf: is not compatible"

I think It can be something related to the new board with 8gb ram because in my 4gb ram raspberry I could install Kali successfully.

I tried to update the raspberry boot loader to the latest version but It didnt't work.

Any help would be wellcome.

Thank you!!

I have the same issue with my 8GB board. Hopfully support will come soon, bought the board specifically for this.

Same here, I'm using Raspberry Pi 4B 4GB, and it can only detect 2.4 ghz wlan device. I'm using the latest provided Kali image.

Same issue, was really excited to the 64-bit Pi version but no joy.

So I found this artical https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...?f=56&t=275913

And I replaced the *.dat and *.elf files in the boot folder, great was able to load kali but I am stuck at the login screen at the moment. Looks like the USB isnt working.

Nou we have a new issue to overcome...
