that indicate you dont have grub proper installed，did you remove or change
harddisk？

kernel arch is amd64 but grub i386-pc，and from the error it's a efi
installation

are you trying to boot from legacy while installation is under EFI

btw，how did you get dmesg ，while the boot stop at grub

i think a reinstallation of grub would fix this
