Bug#588370: symbol not found: 'grub_xputs'

[Martin Bagge / brother]

severity: critical
package: grub2

I am not sure but I do think I did a dist-upgrade in sid and installd 
grub2 to replace the old solution. I haven't used the computer for some 
days now
but it can not boot anymore.

Right after "Welcome to grub!" it drops to the grub rescue prompt.
I can list my drives with ls.
I can set root to hd0,1 and list the file system for / as far as I can 
tell.
When doing insmod /boot/grub/linux.mod I get the grub_xputs error above.

What to do?


found some livecd suggestion at #grub at freenode and will try to test 
that during the coming week.
