I think there is likely a kernel compile issue since it doesn't ever launch the kernel succesfully either on autopilot or when you run grub interactive. Might also recompile grub, perhaps there's a change in compiler options that produces an incompatible (at least partially). I also suggest the rebuild so you can be sure you have the right initrd and matching kernel.

I had another thought. Just in case it is a bug with grub that only
affects certain hardware, maybe try a different bootloader? Maybe try
lilo or some other bootloader that works with your hardware. I seem to
recall you having EFI so I'm sure there is plenty of those to choose from.
