What have you tried: install using bootable flash drive, check iso image, configure BIOS
What is the error:when selecting a bootable USB flash drive in the BIOS, the error “no such device: /.disk/info” pops up, but then it continues and displays the boot screen, and when trying to install it somehow, it displays “error: invalid magic number” and “error: you need to load the kernel first”
What device is this on: thuderobot with BIOS InsydeH2O with limited settings
turn of secure boot…
that looks like secure boot should be off, you should then be able to boot from the Kali ISO and install it.
Are you dual booting with another OS?
if you are, did you create some hard drive space for the Kali install
If your only running live from the USB this isn’t needed.
“Are you dual booting with another OS?” - yes, I have created some space on my hard drive to install Kali
If using a partition on a windows drive, you need to make sure bitlocker isn’t on, else the install will fail to boot. You will also need to fix the boot after as windows will usually overwrite the boot files for kali.

Встречался с такой ситуацией из-за битых файлов, помогла перезапись загрузочной флешки. Если записана недавно можно попробовать создать с помощью другой программы, либо ручками через diskpart.
Прошу сильно не пинать. Знаю, что очевидные вещи пишу, но вдруг ещё не пробовали.
Upd. Кстати, Ventoy таким грешит.
Всё попробовал, всё равно не помогает, использовал rufus, ventoy, Etcher, UNetbootin, UltraISO при загрузке iso-образа, кроме rufus ни один нормально не сделал загрузочную флешку. Но всё без толку не помогает.
I tried everything as in the article “https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-install-kali-alongside-windows-11-dual-boot”, the same thing happened, I checked bitlocker is disabled, downloaded the Kali Linux file from the official website, and then made a bootable USB flash drive using Rufus, but the same error appeared.
Rufus is known to be problematic if used with default/recommended settings. The official guide suggests to use balenaetcher before rufus.
Should I use balenaetcher first and then rufus? Or just try through balenaetcher?
I can only repeat what I said - rufus is known for being problematic if used with default/recommended settings. I was not suggesting to use both, the official guide simply suggest you use balenaetcher first.
I tried through balenetcher, but for some reason the process ended with an error: “Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted. The writer process ended unexpectedly.” I looked on the forums and solutions to this error did not help.
Did you try to start it as administrator
If you have already used rufus, before trying anything else on the same USB drive, delete any partitions and then create a single partition and format it back to FAT32 you can do this in windows.
Then try balena etcher with your kali ISO image
I tried this, its not help
In that case it might be that your downloaded file is actually corrupted. It’s rare that this happens during download, but it’s not unheard of that some antivirus on your computer takes offense to an iso filled with pentesting tools.
On the kali website, beside the download button, is a button called “sum”. It displays an aes256 hash sum of the file as it is on the server. You can calculate a hashsum of the file on your computer (how to do that depends on your operating system, google can help you out).
Calculate the checksum from the file on your computer, make sure it matches the one on the website. If they do not match, then you file is altered and likely corrupted.
