ok, so your esp is on /dev/sda1, your root is /dev/sda2
you are on uefi-gpt and that is the best setup for linux.
/dev/sda3 - who knows?
you have both vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old but i am not sure how to drag the kernel number out of vmlinuz.
i have just completed a burn of
kali-linux-2020.1-live-amd64.iso
to usb stick, do you recall if that is the .iso you used? released january.

bummer - that is going to make it tougher
the installer is beyond my paygrade, i just work with full .isos burned to a stick
i take it the installer is like a stub that allows you to download files from the net to build the install, does that sum it up?

going offline while i reboot into kali live
Does this mean i will have to wait until this pandemic is over for a computer to install a live version?
Could you atleast give me advice? I dont want to wait this long.
Can't you just get a VM so you can install it and teach me to fix it from there?
If you cannot help beyond this point, I would like to contact the creator of kali linux if possible.

don't panic, i wouldn't be a wizard if i didn't have a couple of tricks up my sleeve, at least 2 of them
the kali people will likely, effectively, to piss off - that is, they will say if you don't have enough knowledge to fix kali you have no business running it.
i'll be back

Honestly, i choose kali because i like coding and exploring.
After this is done and i can use linux it will be the first time i even experience it.
I want to explore kali. If people say i shouldnt because i dont know it then they can go back off because idc lol

back now but only for a few minutes - it is my wedding anniversary and we are out for lunch
not questioning your choice only predicting the kali folk
and just fyi, what i say to some folks is this
so we are not acquainted with the kali people.
did you try
linux /vm
?
i am in my kali at the moment. the syntax of the kernels is different to that which alex described earlier.
eg (no use of generic, that is for ubuntu and mint)
5.4.0-kali3-amd64
and the executables
vmlinuz-5.3.0-kali3-amd64
and
vmlinuz-5.4.0-kali3-amd64
so you could try one of those with what alex was saying, but sda2, not 1
eg
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.3.0-kali3-amd64 root=/dev/sda2
i also want you to try
don't press enter
set notify
but just type in
set not
and press tab and see if it completes, if so, erase that
back in a couple of hours

Do be aware that despite our site name, we are not an official arm nor organ of LInux - just jagged the domain name early in the piece.
We are staffed and manned by happy volunteers who enjoy their Linux, and have varying levels of skills and knowledge in many areas. Also timezones are from around the world, so response times can be a little frustrating
Hope we can help

The linux/vm thing dosent work.
Nor completes
Set notify dosent complete
Set not gives this output
set not (pressed tab once): set not/
set not (pressed tab twice): set not/efi/
set not (pressed tab third time): possible files are:
ubuntu/ boot/ kali/
Nor completes
Set notify dosent complete

ok i'm back, hopefully you are sleeping
the kernel in use with that installer is
5.4.0-kali4-amd64
which is one kali newer than that used by my kali
so we will use a little different method to that suggested by @Alexzee and I will explain the difference whether it works or not
reboot the computer to bring up a fresh grub prompt
grub>
type in these lines, entering between them
grub> set root=(hd0,2)
grub> linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.4.0-kali4-amd64 root=/dev/sda2
grub> initrd /boot/initrd.img-5.4.0-kali4-amd64
grub> boot
if that gets you into kali login screen, userid is likely root and password the one you chose
if you get to the desktop open Terminal, and enter
sudo update-grub
on completion remove the installer stick and reboot and see how you go
cheers
