I have a HP 2540P which for some strange reason the parrot full iso on usb is not seen as a boot able device (used dd) so I swapped to the parrot home version which booted and installed.
But after a full update and install of parrot tools full it was all fine until last night where the update suddenly killed the boot.
A default boot shows grub then just a black screen, I think it maybe driver related because if I type the encryption password the drive flashes as though it is booting.
I did a full reinstall which booted fine every time then after updating no more.
So I next rebooted and selected the advanced options in grub and selected the parrot10-amd64 and it booted fine… So it looks as though its wrongly configured for the hardware… I checked the Parrot20-amd64 but this does not boot.
Strange huh?
All this strangeness makes me want to jump back to blackarch and i3… Unless someone can help?
