I was setting up a bootable USB flash drive of Kali Linux, but I ran into an issue where the screen would turn black and return to the boot menu. Here is a video I recorded of it: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czQBiGAZlaw).
I tried this on a different computer, but it still didn't work. I made the bootable usb using the tutorial found on the Kali Linux website (https://www.kali.org/docs/usb/kali-linux-live-usb-install-linux/) in the dd
section. I ran dd if=kali-linux-2020.3-installer-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb1 bs=4M
.
After it was finished, I found new files on the USB flash drive and so I thought it worked. I tried it out and the USB flash and the screen turned black then returned to the boot menu as I described. Does anyone know why this may be happening and if so, how would I fix it?
Other information:
- Host OS/Main OS: Debian Buster
- USB Format: Ext3 (I've tried Ext4, but the same thing happened)
- USB OS: Kali Linux
Contents of the USB drive:

If any extra information is required, just ask.
dd if=kali-linux-2020.3-live-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M status=progress
(where sdb is your usb disk). Note though it's not sdb1. You did sdb1 So put aside the question of csm, and remake the USB disk properly. BTW I personally use ddrescue as it's better, but dd is ok.
