This is how I fixed this problem :
I've boot into LIVE CD and mount root partition under /mnt/arch.
mkdir /mnt/arch
mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/arch
I then run the following commands:
cd /mnt/arch
mount -t proc proc proc/
mount -t sysfs sys sys/
mount -o bind /dev dev/
I then issue chroot command and configure network:
chroot . /bin/bash
dhcpcd eth0
I'm not sure if all of these commands are required, but I didn't feel like continuously rebooting/chrooting, so I did them all at once
pacman -Syy
pacman -Syu
pacman -S udev
pacman -S mkinitcpio
mkinitcpio -p linux
sudo reboot now
Remove the CD or USB drive and ta-da! Now, hope it helps.

i updated from kernel 4.3 to kernel 4.4 and when i choose to boot from kernel 4.4 is loading initial ramdisk and then pc reboots.
i must say that when choosing to boot from kernel 4.3 pc boots normally.
any fix would be appreciated

I have the same issue, upgraded to kernel 4.4, stuck on loading screen, 4.3 works fine. also with uefi.
waiting for the fix........
Seems like the kali's 4.4 kernel doesnt support some (old)hardware maybe? I have an old 32bit toshiba satelite that always hang on reboot when using that kernel version.
It goes to bios screen and hangs for like 1-2 min and then a blank screen with a _ blinking. I could then shutoff my computer using the power button.
Shutting down is fine though.
Boot from live cd
and
use
uname -r (to know your genric version)
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-4.3.3-30-generic (or what ever your genric version is)
sudo update-grub2 (or if its just Grub in some cases)

i remove kernel 4.4,i must to install it again?
You're talking about an Arch Linux Live CD here? At least that's what I deduct from you post.
I ran into the exact same issue on a not even that old (18 months) Dell Inspiron 15 5547.
I've tried to recreate the initrd (using update-initramfs -v -c -k ...) and I tried to build an install a custom kernel (make silentoldconfig), but both options failed. For now I've reverted back to using the 4.3 as the default and try to figure out why the 4.4 just won't seem to work.
Strangely enough with the 4.4 version installed my disk did show up dynamically in my UEFI boot list as HDD1() or something equivalent, with the 4.3 reentered as default and a update-grub2 is doesn't and I need to enter an entry in mu UEFI BIOS manually as I had before.
I boot using an external USB3 harddrive by the way.
on vmware also i have a kali 2016.1 and i update it.
it work fine .but the problem is still on UEFI system.
did it planed to fix?
are you facing same problem after the fix ?

i boot with live cd and do that but nothing happen.
I've installed kernel 4.4.3 from Ubuntu, it works fine (4.4 from kali still stuck) However, I'm not 100% what's the difference between the two kernels.
Does anyone know how to fix this whilst using refind?
I have spent hours trying to get my laptop to EFI boot on whatever dist and refind was the only thing that worked so can use any of the fixes mentioned (I think )
Hi guys,
Been having the same issue where I kept rebooting itself during loading of the kernel and would be a never ending loop of reboots.
But I have managed to fix it by editing the grub conf file at /etc/default/grub. Using your fave word editor and on the line
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet " add efi=old_map
so the line should look like this roughly
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet efi=old_map"
and then
and you should be good to go. Sorry if my post is messy (first time posting anything on any forum hahaha ) if anything is unclear please dont hesitate to ask meCode:update-grub && reboot
Mate this is what i have
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="initrd=/install/gtk/initrd.gz"
Mine do not reboot rather it freezes at loading initial ramdisk.
Will your solution work for me?
Sorry, was overseas. nunclud you could give it a try.
But since the recent patch it seems that it's not necessary to do that anymore.
But I did have to remove and reinstall my gpu drivers (nvidia). lemme know how it goes
Ok JohnJacob. I guess the patch fixed mine. I didnt have to make those changes again. Just did update and dist-upgrade. Everything is good now. Thanks.
I still have the problem, i already apt-upgrade but i still have to boot from the 4.4.3 kernel someone can explain how i update the patch 4.4.4-2kali2??
I already apt-get update apt-get upgrade apt-get dist-upgrade from the kernel 4.4.3 everything ok, then i reboot but the default boot from the 4.4.4 still stuck in "Loading initial ramdisk" i reboot again i choose advanced options i tried 4.4.4 recovery mode boot but doesn't work neither, the only way i can boot is from the advanced options panel and choose the 4.4.3 kernel, I've read in the Kali bug tracker that has been released a patch for that the "4.4.4-2kali2" how can i get it? I'm like 2 days tryng to figure it out can someone explain me..
After two weeks of failed updates, the new version of the kernel finally solved this problem for me.
maybe try reinstalling the new kernel?
