It's for ubuntu, but it can be adapted for kali.

 

Witch error you get?

Did you add GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y?

 

Thank you for the link.

I haven't tried every single one of the suggested steps in the process, but I added the GRUB_ENABLE_CRYPTODISK=y and updated GRUB.

No success so far.

 

As for your question, I didn't get any error. It shows the same shell on startup and if I go into the BIOS and try to set up the boot-option with the efi-file it shows a blank screen after selecting the device:

 

Again, when I boot into this system without unraid it works fine.

I have zero experience with encryption/lvm, I don't think the issue is related to this; did you create (manually or automatically) the efi partition and installed grub on it?

I tried it again with automated partitioning - same issue. No file system is showing up.

Now I tried a normal installation again - worked perfectly fine*

I created them manually because efi and boot partition are too small when created automatically. If the old kernels are not deleted after an update, it can cause some problems I've heard. And resizing later can be difficult. I can retry the installation and see if it works with automated partitioning... I will report back

Maybe allow me to ask another question regarding this topic.

After your help, I thought I set up a new installation with encryption and lvm.

After setting up the partitions and installing the system, I went into the boot menu like before, but this time the .efi file did not show up.

It did not show any file system at all.

I only encrypted the root and the swap partitions, not the efi nor the boot partition.

What did I do wrong?

Oh man, you are a lifesaver! After a few tries, it worked.

I couldn't enter the bios via the VNC connection because I wasn't fast enough with the ESC button.

So I had to plug in my keyboard directly into the server to get into the boot menu.

From there I did as you said - created a new boot entry and chose the grub.efi file - enter a name for the new boot option (otherwise it wouldn't save) and moved the new option to the first position in the boot order.

Thank you for helping me out. If I somehow can buy you a coffee, just pm me!

Thank you very much! I will try that and report back.

Sorry for the noob question but what do you mean by "you have fs0 on hd"?

Hello everybody!

 

I've been trying to get my Kali Linux installation running as a VM in Unraid.

I have installed a basic installation on a NVME which boots on startup without any problems.(Without Unraid)

But every time I try setting up a VM I get stuck with different issues depending on my settings.

 

First setup:

With these setting I get stuck here:

 

 

And if I try the SeaBIOS

 

I get stuck here:

 

What am I doing wrong?

I appreciate every help I can get.

Thanks in advance peeps
