Kali Linux Install Continues To Fail During Install the System
Have been messing around with Kali Linux 2.0 x86_64 install in VirtualBox for a few hours now, trying to get it to install.
Whether I'm trying to install via GUI or CLI, I continue to get: Code:
An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and chose something else. The failing step is: Install the system. I started out with 20 GB and increased to 30 GB, because maybe I didn't have enough space? I'm also throwing 2 GB of RAM and 2.5 swap at it. Not using LVM during the initial install. So I'm not sure where it is going wrong. Also I noticed during the CLI install the install logs can get thrown to a web server, however I can try this later. Will this help in troubleshooting? So, I'm wondering what others have to successfully install Kali to a VM. thanks |

reread the install documentation section #3 |

Did you install from an ISO? Did you customize the partitions or a vanilla install? I suppose I can grab the VirtualBox Image and try that next time... https://www.offensive-security.com/k...mage-download/ |

Check the md5sum of the iso against a published value and try again. |
Downloading now for a Vbox install.
Why? Not sure, but I am gonna check the md5sum and see if it's Vbox or PIBCAK error. Stand by for an update.... |

it installs very easy as easy as debian 7 and 8 or fedora easier really seeing as it is a live image |

ef192433017c5d99a156eaef51fd389d /home/jj/Downloads/ISOs/kali-linux-2.0-amd64.iso installs just like every other OS I've installed. The graphics has an issue, I think as on the reboots, I get only a black screen. |
The SHA1 of the ISO matches what they have on their webpage for 64-bit

Just for the hell of it, I tried again to install the latest Kali to a VM. Did the GUI install, however manual partitions.
Got the same error as above. This time I tried to view the install-report.template from /usr/share/save-logs by executing a shell. This gave no real information and shows [ ] as didn't try. There is an option to save the debug logs either via a floppy, web or mount. I tried the web and it has an IP address of 10.0.2.15, however I can ping that address from another VM (CentOS6), however I can't ssh into that address to try and grab the logs off... As this point, I have a VM of Kali running, except it doesn't have manual partitions. I'm just wondering why it didn't work in case I have to setup another Kali VM in the future. Also I'm going to grab one of their VMs and see how it goes. |
