Comment 109 for bug 1289977

I reported this on Mageia; you may find the following helpful.

As to what is happening, it has got *nothing* to do with the terminal_highlight_color.
Grub has 2 parts:
   The early stage, installed in the drive's bootsector
   The rest of the modules, installed in /boot/grub

These two are getting out of sync, and the ABI symbol mismatch is because there is an older version of one than of the other.
I suspect that:

1. The grub package, which installs binaries into /boot/grub is being updated
2. Something is failing to correspondingly update /dev/sdX's boot sector
3. No warning is emitted.
