    I have the same problem,
    I am trying to make kali i386 iso boot from hdd with grub2(on a dedicated NTFS partition,).
    40_common.cfg
    menuentry "Kali Linux 1.0 i386" {
    insmod ntfscomp
    iso="/kali-linux-1.0-i386.iso"
    bootoptions="findiso=$iso boot=live noconfig=sudo username=root hostname=kali quiet splash"
    search --set -f $iso
    loopback loop (hd0,7)$iso
    linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz $bootoptions
    initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
    }
    menuentry "Kali Linux 1.0 i386 (forensic)" {
    insmod ntfscomp
    iso="/kali-linux-1.0-i386.iso"
    bootoptions="findiso=$iso boot=live noconfig=sudo username=root hostname=kali noswap noautomount"
    search --set -f $iso
    loopback loop (hd0,7)$iso
    linux (loop)/live/vmlinuz $bootoptions
    initrd (loop)/live/initrd.img
    }

    both don't work
    And I get a screen full of:
    modprobe: module swap not found in modules.dep

    i didn't try much, as I have only started using linux,
    Loading Live Ubuntu Iso works fine

    Iso on NTFS is uncompressed, althrough the rest of the partition is.
    Aspire One ZG5,160GB, 1GB RAM with Win7 and Ubuntu installed
    //MSDOS MBR//
    /dev/sda1 - Grub2 Partition, BOOTFLAG
    /dev/sda2 - extended {
    /dev/sda6 - ntfs Win 7 boot Partition (yes /dev/sda6)
    /dev/sda5 - ntfs Win 7 Root (yes /dev/sda5 in this order, info from GParted Ubuntu live)
    /dev/sda7 - ntfs Data Partition (with Kali ISO on it)
    /dev/sda8 - ext4 Ubuntu 12.04 x86 Server
    /dev/sda9 - swap }
