This happens to me when working with Debian on Bhyve (which Kali is based on). Here's a description from the maintainer of the vm-bhyve port explaining what's going on : https://github.com/churchers/vm-bhyve/issues/336#issuecomment-573731049 .
The fix is to rename the /boot entries so the Linux bootloader knows where to look for them back to their standard naming convention for UEFI. Here's an example : https://blog.tkrn.io/freenas-11-boot-failed-efi-misc-device-fix-debian/ . You can do this on the first boot.
