[Bug 1289977] Re: Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"

[DonQuichote]

Update: the boot repair disk fails to boot, because of the PAE bug.
Adding "forcepae" to the boot options does not help either. However,
"Super Grub2 Disk" does boot, recognizes the config and can be used to
boot the system. Now I have the safest laptop ever! Nobody can boot it
but me!

In the previous post I thought that the found filesystems were broken,
bu this is not the case. The /boot directory on the / partition is off
course empty because the /boot partition was mounted there. Reading this
list and different forums on the internet, ot appears that the master
boot record and the grub2 install are no longer in sync when / and /boot
are on different partitions.

I tried a re-install (using synaptic) of the packages "grub-pc", "grub-
pc-bin", and "grub2-common". It did not solve the issue.

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 Update breaks grub, resulting in "error: symbol
  'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"

Status in “grub2” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The update from 13.10 to 14.04 via update-manager broke grub for me,
  which resulted in the grub error:

  "symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found"

  on startup.

  To fix the problem I had to boot to my persisting Ubuntu installation
  (e.g. using Super Grub Disk) and had to reinstall grub on my boot
  partition: "sudo grub-install --recheck /dev/sdx"
