I am currently trying to install Kali Linux on my Laptop (the image was written in DD mode) using the Graphical interface and I get stuck at "Detect and mount CD-ROM" but it doesn't give me the error "Can't mount and detect CD-ROM drives."
I trying the solution given by BlueBerry - Vignesh4303 for this question Can't install Kali Linux from USB, fails to find CD-ROM drive:
Unplug your USB from system and re insert it
wait for mount/ detection (usb LED glow)
Hit Continue
I unplugged the usb key, got "Installation step failed", waited 30 se., plugged the usb, pressed continue and I get a black screen.
Next, I entered
mkdir /cdrom
in the command prompt but the directory was already made. Then I trying mounting the CD-Rom with
mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /cdrom
(replacing "sdb1" with the proper name for my usb device) and it said that the resources for this device was already used.
I then tried the boot option "Live (amd64)" and it failed to boot giving the error message "Can not mount /dev/loop0 (/run/live/medium/live/filesystem.squashfs) on /run/live/rootfs/filesystem.squashfs."
Also, I did verify the SHA-256 Checksum of the ISO file.
