    Question Can't boot kali linux 2016.2 with EacyBCD

    I have installed kali linux 2016.2 64bit downloaded from the official site.
    For begin I have shrink one my volume called M and created an unlocated
    space of 50GB. I created my usb with win32 disk immager and reboot my computer.
    In the instalation fase i created 4 new partition from my unlocated space
    1) /dev/sda6 = 2Gb for /boot
    2) /dev/sda7 = 15Gb for /
    3) /dev/sda8 = 20 Gb for /home
    4) /dev/sda9 = 4Gb for Swap area

    When asked me if I would install GRUB boot loader to master recorder i shoose no
    because I would boot with EacyBCD, for device boot loader I shoose manual and enter
    /dev/sda6. The installation gone fine and I don't receive any errors. In EasyBCD i add a new voice:
    type=GRUB2 name=kali linux and unit=locate and automatically loads
    but when i reboot my computer and select kali linux it say me:


    GRUB4DOS 0.4.5c 2014-01-17 Men-598K/3286M/2814M, End:356539
    [ Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB
    lists possible command completion. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible
    completions of a divece/filename. ]

    My computer is HP Povilion Elite HPE

    When i tried to put the iso onto my usb stick with rufus it gave me some syslinux warning (i dont remember what exactly was) and instead it I used win32diskimager. I installed the 2016.2 64 bit version from the site. When I used easybcd (like I always did) I tried GRUB 2 (again like I always did) it gave me this error that you two guys have. I fixed it by going in easybcd - instead GRUB 2 I chose syslinux from the menu and chosing the exact partition i installed the "bootloader" , which was in my case /dev/sda5. And it worked like a charm - booted without any problems.

    No idea why they changed something and no idea why it didnt work in the first place, but it fine now.

    I believe the problem is the type=GRUB2 and unit=locate and automatically loads. You must use grub(legacy) especially if you have legacy option on and choose mannually the sda6 which is the boot on the easybcd options when making the second entry... this may solve your problem.
