Explanation
Using rescue boot media lets you boot the machine, mount the existing partitions, and access the corrupted /boot files without reinstalling the OS. Reinstalling the kernel packages restores the missing or corrupt files in /boot (e.g., vmlinuz and initramfs), allowing GRUB to load and uncompress the kernel properly.
