I tried to upgrade Boon (an Ubuntu 13.10 installation) to 14.04. During the upgrade, the / file system ran dangerously low on space. I was removing stuff from the file system to give it enough breathing room and got no errors, but when I rebooted, Grub failed to load:
Error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color' not found
Entering rescue mode...
I found a reference to a bug causing Grub to break which had a fix.
I booted my live USB drive of 32-bit Ubuntu 13.10 (it took a few times–see my notes about the hard lock-ups). Once I got it running, I did the following:
sudo mkdir /mnt/u13boot
sudo mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/u13boot
sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/u13boot /dev/sda
(/dev/sda6 is the location of the /boot directory of the installed Ubuntu and /dev/sda is where Grub is installed.)
