I'm trying to install Kali Linux on an EeePC (netbook was given to me by a client who got a tablet and didn't want to mess with this one anymore). My goal is to turn it into a security/pentesting experimentation rig. No network connection, so I'm installing from a USB stick.
The initial install got me as far as setting the root password, and then all of a sudden "Sending SIGKILL to all devices...powering off" (I can't tell if this is coming from Kali or the system itself, nor do I know if partitioning was actually completed) Any subsequent installation attempts result in the power-off happening before it gets to the partitioning phase.
The existing install was Win7 Starter; I didn't have the password so elected to install over everything (did that screw things? it shouldn't have...).
