Since none of that works for me... I don't think this is really solved.

unfortunately arch linux doesn't ship parted with bios_grub flag support. (But support can be found if you built parted from git ... as far as i know there is no such PKGBUILD in AUR, so you are alone)
Of course when I tried to install I got this message:
Embedding area is not present at all!
After some quick searching it looks like that error message has been replaced with these:
if (! strcmp (dest_partmap, "pc_partition_map"))
grub_util_warn ("This msdos-style partition label has no post-MBR gap; embedding won't be possible!");
else
grub_util_warn ("This GPT partition label has no BIOS Boot Partition; embedding won't be possible!");
in /trunk/grub2/util/i386/pc/grub-setup.c
However, I still don't know how to fix this. My /boot is /dev/sda1 and is ext2 if that helps. Boot loaders are one thing I never learned much about.
Anyone have ideas?
