Grub2 + GPT + Divmod64 Error

I installed grub 2 after I finished the archlinux install.
pacman asked me if i do grub legecy would be removed and I did. the install finished with no error. after that I did

grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
and
grub_bios-install --grub-setup=/bin/true --boot-directory=/boot --no-floppy --recheck /dev/sda

and they did fine too.

after that I rebooted and i got

error: symbol not found.
'grub_divmod64_full'

Entering rescue mode ...

grub rescue>

i removed grub2 by pacman and install it again and I did the process again and I get the same error.

I have no idea where and how to fix it but I know it is something to do with grub mostly.

paste your grub.conf

Re: Grub2 + GPT + Divmod64 Error

Can you try reinstalling grub2 fully?

* delete /boot/grub dir completely
* zero out (dd) the bios_grub partition
* remove grub2-bios and grub2-common

* install grub2-bios and grub2-common
* run grub_bios-install . That should setup /boot/grub , bios_grub partition and the MBR boot code.
* create /boot/grub/grub.cfg
* reboot
