What Happens when Kali Linux Installation Failed.

PROBLEM-

💬 I've created a Virtual machine by selecting 🐧Linux > Debian 8.x 64-Bit

💬I Gave the Virtual Machine 30.00 GB Hard drive space and 2.00 GB Ram.

1. Booted up the iso and selected Graphical Install👈
2. After Completing a few steps then I came up with the Partition Disks step.👈
3. I've selected then clicked continue.👈
4. Then I select the Hard disk and clicked continue👈
5. In the Partitioning scheme, I've selected All files in one partition (recommended for new users)👈

6. Then the following message came:👈

   The following partitions are going to be formatted:
   
    partition #1 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) as ext4
    partition #5 of SCSI3 (0,0,0) (sda) as swap
   
    write changes to disks?
    yes or no
   

   💬I selected and clicked and the installation was going well.

7. But after a few moments Kali Linux installation 👀stuck and showed me an error as stated below:

   An installation step failed. You can try to run the failing item again from the menu, or skip it and choose something else.
   The failing step is: Install the system

💬If I click continue then after a while, the error reappears. 😫I tried a lot of time to install but failed every time.

My System:👇

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU M430 @2.27GHz Ram: 8.00 GB Graphics: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 OS: Windows 7 Home Premium, 64-bit👈

Solution- 

💥I had the same problem, and I have fixed it by increasing the space for the hard drive. By default you have 8 GB, increase it to 30 GB or more. And continue with the installation.

💥A quick solution might be specifying file system usage, meaning is that using a single container not a separated for /usr, /var, /tmp

Installation failed on trying to use separated partitions, but as suggested using a single partition succeeded.

💥I faced exactly the same predicament as yours's an extensive search on the internet did not yield any straightforward answer.

My host OS level(Windows 7), VMWare version, and Kali Linux version & settings for Kali install attempt are similar to yours with the exception - that I did chose separate partition for /home, /var & /temp - I chose varying disk capacity size which you chose as 30G

While trying repeatedly to install with differing settings I noticed the following pattern: - for the 8Gb disk capacity setting the install, step failed after approx. 20% completion - for 20G disk capacity setting the install step failed after approx. 40% completion - for 40G disk capacity setting the install step failed after approx. 80% completion

Finally, the install step succeeded with a 50G disk capacity value. So try increasing your disk capacity and give it a shot!
