Summary | 0003768: There is a bug of kali linux installer to set wrong paramater of root partition. | ||||
Description | Situation: Affect: /boot/grub/grub.cfg has a wrong setting about root partition after installing. Installer should handle UUID as a indicator of root file system instead a form like sdc1. See bellow. $ diff grub.cfg.correct grub.cfg.wrong
| ||||
Steps To Reproduce | Just install to USB memory stick without LVM. | ||||
Additional Information | Nothing special. | ||||
What ISO image did you use to install Kali? Can you share the files from /var/log/installer in the problematic system? Thank you. |
|
ISO image I used is kali-linux-2016.2-amd64.iso and /var/log/installer is uploaded to my Dropbox. Check please, thank you. |
|
Ok, I have this on a fresh install as well. But if I run update-grub after install, then I get a grub.cfg with UUID. I'm not sure what explains this behaviour but I'm also not convinced that we need to dig deeper. Does your machine fail to boot due to usage of /dev/sdc1 instead of the corresponding filesystem UUID? |
|
Sorry for late reply. Yes. my laptop's storage configuretion was below: When installing after installing So, it didn't boot up from (3) USB memory stick.. |
|
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? |
