Grub boot screen shows - blinking cursor

Hey so I had wiped my hard drive and previously installed Linux Mint, afterwards I used gparted to partition the hard drive in order to install Kali Linux. Grub recognized that I had Linux Mint already installed and so I installed Grub boot loader. After rebooting I am shown the Grub boot screen and both Linux Mint and Kali Linux show up but after clicking on either one I am shown a black screen with a blinking white cursor. I am able to boot into Linux Mint though if I just leave the system to boot up by itself.

Any help would be appreciated!

Boot from livecd or usb
in terminal window:

sudo su
TARGET=/media/sda1
mkdir -p $TARGET

mount /dev/sda1 $TARGET
mount --bind /dev $TARGET/dev
mount --bind /dev/pts $TARGET/dev/pts
mount --bind /proc $TARGET/proc
mount --bind /sys $TARGET/sys

cp /etc/resolv.conf $TARGET/etc/
chroot $TARGET /bin/bash
This places you in a root terminal on the #! system
Do whatever you want to do there,

grub-install /dev/sda
update-grub
To exit from chroot:
control-D

This brings you back to where you were in the live session and you can unmount
umount -l $TARGET/dev/pts
umount -l $TARGET/dev
umount -l $TARGET/proc
umount -l $TARGET/sys
Thats it...

Reboot into the #! system on disk.
Edit1: Replaced '/usr/bin/bash' by '/bin/bash'
Edit2: Start with defining TARGET, and reference it in all subsequent lines.
Edit3: Use sudo su in stead of sudo
Edit4: cp /etc/resolv.conf into the chroot to make apt-get possible
