OS Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop
Drive: 1TB PCIe3.0 NVMe SSD
This drive has been running for long time. Until last week it is unable to boot dropping to GRUB shell.
Just ran boot-rescue on an USB Ubuntu 22.04 installer but still failed.
On reboot it till drops to GRUB shell.
I have copied the Boot-Info_20230412_0503_copy.txt file here which was download before running boot-rescue option;

Please help. Thanks in advance.

Edit
On booting, no error info popup just drop to GRUB screen.
This SSD is still working. When I boot another drive on this PC, I can still connect this SSD via File Manager, retrieving its files.
