0000236 | Kali Linux | General Bug | public | 2013-04-04 11:51 | 2018-01-29 11:01 |

Platform | MacBook Pro, Processor 2.4 GHz, | OS | Kali Linux i386 | OS Version | 1.02 |
Summary | 0000236: Native install of Kali on Macbook (Macbook Pro) fails. | ||||
Description | After the installation process a restart is required and the CD is ejected. Upon start-up, the Macbook does not recognize the filesystem and the user is left with a flashing "?" on the screen. There are some issues relating to burning Debian/Kali distros on Mac OSX based on Disk Utilities not recognizing the file system, but I think that is unrelated because the CD burned fine, mounted fine, and "installed" fine; it just failed on startup after install. | ||||
Steps To Reproduce | 1) Download ISO, burn it to CD. | ||||
Additional Information | I also noticed some issues booting the live CD on a Mac, but I haven't spent the time to reproduce yet. Essentially, it was broken too. | ||||
It appears information about my Mac was cutoff. MacBook Pro |

You can't just install directly onto a Mac because of its bios. You'll need to have something like rEFIt installed: |

been there once..... |
|
Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported. Please could you see if you are able to replicate this issue with the latest version of Kali Linux - https://www.kali.org/downloads/)? If you are still facing the same problem, feel free to re-open the ticket. If you choose to do this, could you provide more information to the issue you are facing,and also give information about your setup? |
