Kali Linux Installation fail. "Installation step failed. The failing step is: Install the system"

Post by TheGreenMongoose »

I am trying to install Kali Linux in virtual box on Mac osx and when I get to the installation stage it says "Installation step failed. The failing step is: Install the system". I tried changing the USB setting to 2.0 and downloading the extension pack because I heard that helped some people but it did not work. Can anybody help me out here? :?:

Try to install the VM from scratch. When time comes to select the VDI size, choose at least 20 GB. See if that helps...
