Summary0000635: Kali doesn't boot off SD card
Description

I'm trying to use my laptop's SD slot for running Kali installed to SD card or running live session from SD card. It works fine using USB drive, but when I boot Kali live it stops at initramfs console with error "Cannot find a medium containing live file system."

Steps To Reproduce

Extract Kali ISO to SD card and make it bootable.
Try to boot Kali live from that SD card.

Apparently, initramfs should be tweaked so that it supports SD cards and readers. It'd be rally great if you fix this as SD card is a convenient Kali medium and also doesn't use an USB port.

Due to the age of the OS (Kali Moto [v1], Kali Safi [v2], Kali Rolling 2016.x), these legacy versions are no longer supported.
