I used the Kali ISO image to build Linux in VMware Workstation, configured 2oGB disk and 4GB memory, and then followed all default choices throughout the process. However, I got stuck at booting screen with “_” flashing after the installation before log-in. I found this video and eventually got it fixed. When you get to the “GRUB boot loader” menu, you should choose “/dev/sda” instead of the default choice “Enter device manually”. If you got the same problem, that should solve it. Excuse me for not having tried VirtualBox and pre-built Kali image yet. Therefore, I have no solution to problem regarding those.
