I think you have to look at something like this article: how-rescue-non-booting-grub-2-linux The boot process can't find the root partition (the part of the disk, that contains the information for starting up the system), so you have to specify its location yourself. Maybe this additional bit of information can help figure out what is going on? I checked with the blkid command and that is the identifier of my linux partition. This did not fix the problem, but now when it starts in command prompt mode, GRUB shows the following message: error: no such device: 6fxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxee. Why is this happening and how can I ensure that GRUB always loads the menu? EditĪs suggested in the comments, I tried purging the grub-efi package and reinstalling it. I think that the BIOS has EFI enabled, and I installed the GRUB bootloader in /dev/sda. Rebooting without pressing F12 always reboots in command line mode. Using this technique, it always loads the menu. What works is to reboot using Ctrl+Alt+Del, then pressing F12 repeatedly until the normal GRUB menu appears. There is probably a command that I can type to boot from that prompt, but I don't know it.

When I turn on the computer, the normal GRUB menu appears most of the time:īut after booting either Linux or Windows then rebooting, I GRUB starts in command line mode, as seen in the following screenshot: Removing the internal storage of the macbook is not an option.I installed Linux Mint on my laptop along with a pre-installed Windows 10.

There has to be an easier way to get this done simply by using the installer, i mean if it worked with the 2019 live usb installer, it should also work with the current version since its still the same macbook i use in the process. But it still installs on the internal macbook SSD as opposed to the plugged in usb.
#Putting grub on usb install
Is there a way to install the grub afterwards on my usb, after its already fully set up with crypt? I just now tried running the expert installation from the kali installer, and only installing the grub. But i cant get it that way by using the 2021 installer or live iso. But like i said, in kali 2019 this worked like a charm. So essentially i boot my live usb through my macbook, to install it on another usb. To clarify, my macbook is the actual hardware (which indeed has an internal SSD which now has gotten the grub install on it, even tho during installation i specifiy to place the grub install onto the usb device. If this exact issue is already noted in another forum or website, i'd appreciate a push in the right direction. Is there a way to fix this during the installation itself which i might have missed in the latest kali 2021.3 installer, or is my only option to install grub to the kali usb manually by booting from the live usb, and then formatting my macbook again for the third time to get rid of the grub thats installed there?

My problem is, that even after re-doing the entire installation process multiple times, even doing all the partitioning manually, for some reason the kali installer keeps throwing the grub onto my internal drive while i specify that its destination should be the external usb. That part isnt an issue, since a simple reboot while using the option-key will let me choose the internal drive and boot into MacOS without an issue. If i unplug the drive, it again boots to grub and stays there.

I boot my macbook with option-key, load up the UEFI partition of my kali-live usb, start the graphic install, guided partitioning with full encryption onto my external usb, and then wait for an hour or two for everything to be finished.Īfter the installation my mac reboots, however it boots straight into grub and then my kali drive. Did everything as i did before, without any issues or errors during the installation process. i lost the SSD and have been out of kali for some time, so im starting over with a fresh install of the latest version on a fresh usb. Reboot macbook and holding option-key, i select the UEFI which shows up, my Kali system boots from the external drive and asks for my crypt key, enter the pass and everything works as it should. I used to have a full install of kali 2019 on my external SSD, which worked perfectly. Coming here for help is kindof my final move, i've tried it all and searched high and low without a solution. Let me start off by acknowledging that i might be slightly out of my league using Kali, however im spending multiple hours per day educating my self more and more.
