Can't boot Kali with UEFI Stuck at grub-rescue
I had Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop and just decided to try Kali. I downloaded Kali Linux 64 Bit and installed it using a live USB. Everything looked fine during the installation but I think I messed up something because I got stuck at grub-rescue getting this:
Unknown btrfs filesystem
Unknown filesystem
I tried to find the root partition and set prefix to it but the output of all
ls (hd0,xxxx) is
Unknown filesystem
.
I tried this fix but in update-grub step I get this:
WARNING: Device /dev/loop0 not initialized in udev database even after
waiting 10000000 microseconds.
WARNING: Device /dev/sda1 not initialized in udev database even after
waiting 10000000 microseconds.
....
done
and everything's still the same.
