Those are messages from the linux kernel.  Grub has nothing to do with
that (other than having loaded that kernel and started it).

Debuging ACPI stuff is not something I have ever dealt with.  I often
see kernel developers helping people with it, although you might need
more info that the piece you provided.

You could try this in grub:

hit e on your linux entry, then hit e on the kernel line, then add
acpi=off to the end of the line, hit enter to finish editing, then hit
b to boot with your temporary boot settings.

That should try booting with no acpi support.  Might work, might be
no better.
