if it is a Grub issue or Kernel. I believe that it is Grub because I have
four Kernels on my system and all produce the same response now.

What is the opinion of this forum?
That's no evidence at all that the problem is grub. You also failed
to mention which kernels you are seeing this with.
I saw that show up with several recent kernels. Oddly, it was also
inconsistent. Sometimes the same kernel that failed as above would then
successfully boot on the next try. Anyhow, I think I did see some
discussion about that. Check the archives. The latest kernel (1268)
seems to have solved the problem for me.
