Thank you for feedback!

You are right, looks like some images cannot find root partition while boot from pendrive. I maked them from sdcard. The difference between last disk images and previous are kernel and custom-mesa packages. I've kept the previous images in case the new one doesn't work. So I think I'll delete the buggy disk images and make a new one for kali.

As for qemu, that means no kernel image file. You may extract kernel image file like:

fdisk kali_xe303c12_test.img 

Welcome to fdisk (util-linux 2.37.2).
Changes will remain in memory only, until you decide to write them.
Be careful before using the write command.

I have re-signed and re-flashed the kernel on the kali image and it boots from a pendrive on my chromebook.

by the way edim could be used to create empty disk image with any custom size https://youtu.be/ALJR2doOipc
