Same Problem here.... My workarounf was to enter the startup mode by pressing F12 (Dell Inspirion) and boot from there. If not, I would see the "error: symbol 'grub_term_highlight_color" message from grub-rescue. After a next update, instead of grub-rescue, I could only hear annoying beep sounds, occurring every 2 seconds (lasting for infinite time). I still was able to use the EFI-BIOS boot options to restart. However, after my latest update, even the F12 Option to enter EFI Bios has been lost. All I got where the Beep's.
After several tries (pressing the on / of button several times, until F12 is displayed) , I may reach the boot menu. I tried to redo the boot order with efibootmgr --- no success. After the next startup, the boot order has been overwritten. I tried Boot-repair --- no success. Any idea what to do next?
