Hey,

I am Shiloh


I am a student and want to learn pen and penetration testing using linux.
a few months prior I assembled a pc with,


Intel Core i9 12900 (processor)
MSI PRO-Z690-A (motherboard)
CORSAIR 1*16 GB (memory)

soley to use and learn Kali Linux on it.

During installation at one part it says "some of your hardware need non-free firmware files to operate. The firmware
can be loaded using removable media like USB stick or floppy." and lists a bunch of texts ending with extention ".ucode".
It allows me to skip that step. I asked about it on several forums and people suggested to skip the step and update after
installation using some update command. I did so and continued with installation and installed Kali on SSD 1TB. But
it doesnt boot. It takes me directly to BIOS. I checked BIOS settings and everything is perfect. I have tried installing
few times with complete different setup and everytime the result is same. It doesnt boot. Note that I am not sure if
Kali gets installed on first place. I assume it does because after installation it says "successfully installed".
There is no graphics card but the processor has in-build graphics. I am no hardware or software expert and have begun my
journey of computer science just now. Please someone help me.
