Trying to install kali linux on usf ssd but not visable in installer tried modporbe usf but no module in installer
change the ssd mode to AHCI in the bios, else Linux wont usually see it, if your dual booting, make the change in windows before anything else, so windows will continue to boot as well.
In bios AHCI is already selected and i have no option to change it to anything else .i have never had this issue before. The only drive i have in the laptop is a UFS ssd ,which i currently have parott OS on there was no issue installing parott. my ssd is GPT with 2 partions efi and linux file system so im suprised kali cant see it on install . Only other thought was to wipe the UFS ssd completely, by booting in to live format GPT create one partition as ext4 with all free space and try install kali again.
So i tried refomatting and partitiong the ssd kali still camt see it , strange thing is if i boot into live and use lsblk it shows the ssd. My only thought is the installer doesnt have kernal supprt for the UFS ssd
If you have enough RAM in your system, run it from the Live ISO and then do an update and upgrade on the live system.
When you then try to install Kali from your live system, it should see everything and finish the install correctly, I’ve had to do this with laptops using non standard storage controllers in the past.
make the disk a GPT type and try creating 3 partitions, 1st only has to be a 1mb unformatted partition, its a throwback to legacy MBR but should ‘really’ be there for an EFI install, then create an efi partition typically around 300 MB and formatted FAT32, set boot flag and esp flag in GParted, this is where you later point the installer to when it wants to install grub, then a final partition of ext4 for kali to live on.
