Hey,
I have a MBP and successfully run KALI from a usb-stick with encrypted persistence in DUAL BOOT and VMWARE USB-BOOT.
I made a backup of the stick using DD.

Now, I set up a new VM, which boots from DVD, on which I mounted the Kali-Image (backup.img).

Grub starts, but upon choosing "Encrypted persistence" as usual, it skips the PW entry and I end up in a live system without persistence.
I don?t know what to make if this. If I DD the image back to Drive and boot from it, it asks for the LUKS-PW.

Why is it skipping the PW entry when running the image in vmware ?

Thanks !
