AFAIK, when you load the kernel directly from the EFI firmware, it has to have the ".efi" suffix. But that doesn't explain why it would stall when loaded from grub... Somewhat OT: Regarding grub, your "/boot/" is messy. It might not be making a difference for (efi)-grub2's functioning but you have grub1 files (*stage1_5), grub2 bios files (i386-pc/), as well as grub2 efi files (x86_64-efi/).
