Summary | 0009345: New kali-Live versions : Boot Fail | ||||
Description | Hi ... The following tools were used to write the image to the USB drive:Rufus / Ventoy / UNetbootin / UltraISO Graphics Cards Tested Test Results This problem exists in the Kali-Live.iso image versions.I attempted to identify the exact Kali-Live version where this phenomenon first occurred. Test Status Summary, Boot Result 2023kali-live.iso Not tested All versions starting from 2025 (2025kali-live.iso) Tested Boot failed However, with the following graphics cards, all versions can boot normally. The issue is suspected to be related to the initrd.img . | ||||
Thanks for the report, but we don't have the time to deal with hardware support issues. Kali is based on Debian, so it's most likely an issue that is also present in Debian, and that's where it should be reported. But you'd need to pinpoint the error first, find the logs, paste the logs, etc... Also it's nice to know that 2022 worked for you, and 2025 doesn't work anymore, but that leave us with a 2 years gap when something changed... That's a big window, a lot of things changed. So, in short, there's nothing we can do. I suggest you try some Debian live iso (eg. from Debian 13 Trixie that was released this summer), and if you can confirm that it doesn't work either, then you know that the bug report should go to Debian. But you need to provide more information, because nobody is going to magically find a laptop/workstation with you specific graphic cards and then spend hours or days trying to reproduce your problem... There are tons of vague hardware-related bugs posted on the Debian bug tracker, without any answer. Good luck with troubleshooting this problem, and sorry to disappoint here. |

Hi @arnaudr, Tested graphics card: GTX 750 (powered by the motherboard, not independently powered). Additionally, I tested all installer versions (kali-linux-installer-amd64.iso) spanning from 2017 to 2025.3, and all of them booted normally without issues. I still have doubts about initrd.img and vmlinuz. |
