[solved] grub error after system upgrade

getting the following error message when i select my arch install from grub menu

error: invalid magic number
error: you need to load kernel first

was working without problems until i upgraded system. last upgrade I did included a kernel update.
from pacman.log: [2019-11-25T17:18:02-0500] [ALPM] upgraded linux (5.3.12.1-1 -> 5.3.13.1-1)
full log: http://dpaste.com//21JCJXN

What I tried to far:
1.booted into an Arch live environment.  arch-chrooted into os and ran mkinitcpio -p linux. link to error output below

2.reinstalled grub but didn't solve the problem.

not sure where to go from here.
