Similar problem here. Upgrade from Ubuntu (not Kubuntu) 10.04 to 10.10, 64-bits edition.
There were no errors during the upgrade process, but after reboot, Grub entered a rescue shell with the message "the symbol 'grub_xputs' not found." Using a SystemRescueCD with the alternate 64-bits kernel, it was possible to boot to the root file system (/dev/sda6) on the hard disk. >From a text console, the command "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" fixed the problem.
