Forum Thread: Problem Booting Kali Linux from Dvd

you tried to disable UEFI mode?

Open the BIOS setup menu, should be pressing F1, F2, F12, ESC or DEL, once you find this option , select Legacy, save the change, reboot and try use KALI

try using a flash drive if don't work

I had the same problem, I read on the Kali forum that Kali can't be installed in an UEFI system. I tried every possible way, with secure boot mode disabled and legacy enabled. I ended up installing backbox instead of Kali as it can be installed in UEFI. I went as far as calling Asus for my Asus Q302L and they also said the UEFI doesn't like certain Linux distros.

I read on the Kali forum that Kali can't be installed in an UEFI system. I tried every possible way, with secure boot mode disabled and legacy enabled.

i don't understand, do you tried with UEFI enabled or not?

This will help
Pay attention on Launch CSM and Launch PXE opROM

NAME1 NAME2 - On my Asus Q302L I have turned off secured boot mode, enabled Legacy, set my boot path to usb/dvd with the kali boot path(For some reason on the Asus you have to select the direct boot path from the bootable device) and it just shows a blank screen as White Rabbit has said. The pic they posted with the Secure Boot Violation is when you leave Secure Boot on. I have installed Kali on 2 HP laptops, dual boot windows 7 with kali on my desktop, and dual boot windows 7 with kali on a dell laptop, all without UEFI with no issues. I have had no issues on any device except for this Asus, and as i replied earlier, I have read in the forums that Kali is locked or something so it doesnt work on UEFI(At least on the Asus UEFI). And I have tried every possible configuration in my UEFI settings, Kali WILL NOT LOAD. If you have any suggestions I would be happy to try them, I am very open minded and willing. But I do believe I have tried everything. As stated, I have installed Backbox on this laptop with no problems, and before Backbox, I have installed Ubuntu just to try to get another distro working, and they both worked. I also tried multiple Kali ISO's, 32 bit and 64 bit again just to try, nothing. Let me know if you have an idea.... Thanks!

NAME1 NAME2 - I have no Launch PXE opROM, under Boot I have Fast Boot(Disabled) and Launch CSM(Disabled) which again I have tried in any and all configurations. Another person from the Youtube video also commented he doesnt have the Launch PXE opROM option on his Bios. Grrrrrrr
