Bug#531191: grub-pc update: system unbootable

Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20090523-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Since last update my system is unbootable.
At start after the bios:
Error:the symbol 'grub_machine_fini' not found
Then, I have a grub-rescue prompt
This error becomes after a grub-install. If I downgrade to
grub-pc/testing, a grub-install command make my system bootable.
I think that this problem is different of #530927 #530357
because I've modified /etc/default/grub without any change.
The only way I can boot on this grub install on /dev/sdb is with
another grub from another linux on /dev/sda. If I make a chainloader
from this old grub, the grub on /dev/sdb works. In fact the problem
becomes when I want to boot directly from bios to /dev/sdb.
