9 Well, GRUB modules are *GRUB* modules, that is, they're there only for
10 GRUB to be able to understand your partition table and read your
11 filesystems. After successfully reading the kernel into memory and
12 passing control to it, they're not relevant any more, so you really
13 don't have to reformat /.

15 Instead, focus on your initramfs as the error shows some inconsistency
16 between the expected and actual initramfs content. Also that last line
17 seems to come from initramfs, based on its appearance (unlike dmesg
18 lines). You may understand your problem better there.
