    Unable to boot kali linux on surface pro 4

    Hi all,

    I am trying to install kali linux on a Micro SD in my Surface Pro 4. I got the bootable USB with the /EFI/Boot folder with grub.config, grubx64.efi and bootx64.efi. I use the latest Kali Linux build 2016.2 x64. The bootable USB is created in Rufus as an ISO image (DD image does not boot on the surface).

    Booting from the USB goes well and I am able to install Kali on a new partition on the Micro SD. I don't get any errors regarding the installation. It tells me it is finished and I should be able to boot to my new OS.

    When I try to boot from the micro SD it doesn't work, I get to see:

    error: no such device : {long id}
    Entering rescue mode
    grub rescue>

    I tried the ls command as suggested in some posts I found but it only returns: (hd0)

    Any advise on how to get this to work? I did the installation twice with the same result.
