Hi @shubham432,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
When you encounter a "blacklisting problem" in Kali Linux, it typically refers to issues with certain hardware components or drivers being blacklisted or disabled. A blacklist is a mechanism in Linux to prevent specific modules or drivers from being loaded during the boot process.
Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Check system logs.
- When booting up Kali Linux, keep an eye on the boot messages and error logs. Pressing "Esc" or "F2" during boot may display valuable information about what's causing the problem.
- You can also check logs using the dmesg command or review the /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog files for any relevant error messages.
Identify the blacklisted hardware or drivers.
- The error messages should provide information about the hardware component or driver being blacklisted.
- Common components that might be blacklisted include wireless cards, graphics cards, and sound cards.
Check the blacklist files.
- In Kali Linux, blacklisted modules are usually specified in the /etc/modprobe.d/ directory.
- Open the blacklist configuration file, such as /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf, and see if any relevant entries are present.
Remove or modify the blacklist entries.
- If you find the blacklisted entry causing the issue, you can either remove it from the blacklist file or comment it out by adding a # at the beginning of the line.
- Use a text editor like nano or vim to edit the file. For example.
- sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
Update the initramfs.
- After making changes to the blacklist file, update the initramfs to apply the changes during the boot process.
- Use the following command to update the initramfs.
- sudo update-initramfs -u
Reboot the system.
- After performing the above steps, reboot the laptop to see if the issue has been resolved.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
