    Wow, you are fast, thank you !

    When I leave secure boot disabled, I can see the GRUB boot screen with "kali - boot non persistent mode, Kali - boot persistent, Kali Failsafe, Kali forensics...".
    When I chose the first one (I tried them all, same result), I have this message :
    "Booting 'Kali - boot non persistent mode'
    Secure boot not enabled
    _"
    And nothing else. Any idea ?

    Try the following grub.cfg
    Make sure to replace --set=root and root=UUID= with the UUID for your system.
    The grub.cfg that comes didn't work for me so I made up the following.

    Code:
    set default="1"
    set timeout=30
    
    set menu_color_normal=yellow/blue
    set menu_color_highlight=blue/yellow
    
    function load_video {
      insmod efi_gop
      insmod efi_uga
      insmod video_bochs
      insmod video_cirrus
      insmod all_video
    }
    
    load_video
    set gfxpayload=keep
    insmod gzio
    insmod part_gpt
    insmod ext2
    
    menuentry "Kali 3.7 sdb2" {
      search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root 556feb5a-aa31-4dc0-91ba-1fc416f045c6
      linuxefi /boot/vmlinuz-3.7-trunk-amd64 root=UUID=556feb5a-aa31-4dc0-91ba-1fc416f045c6
      initrdefi /boot/initrd.img-3.7-trunk-amd64
    }
    
    menuentry "Windows 7" {
      search --fs-uuid --no-floppy --set=root AAFF-7523
      chainloader (${root})/EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi 
    }
    I like the bleeding edge, but I don't like blood loss!
