I think your system is not totally screwed. Try share both working and
non-working boot.scr - they might indicate what configuration file might
be wrongly setup to now produce broken boot files.

No - LIME and LIME2 differ in (those binary parts in the top of) boot
scripts, but both run the "armhf" flavor of Linux, and can only run the
simpler "armel" flavor from same architecture family, not "amd64" wich
is a modern flavor the _another_ computer architecture.
Here is a bit of perspective that might help (I am 15 years into Linux
too, and learned about multiple architectures with Apple machines):
Debian hardware flavors, related to underlying hardware architectures:
* "x86" family Intel/AMD hardware includes "i386" and "amd64".
* "860x0" family Motorola hardware includes "m68k".
* "PowerPC" family Apple/IBM hardware includes "powerpc" and "ppc64".
* some family of ARM hardware includes "armel", "armhf" and "arm64".
