[SOLVED] Trying to upgrade GRUB 1.99rc~1 to 2.00-2.

Question

Hello,
I was trying to upgrade my version of GRUB from 1.99rc~1 to the latest version (2.00-2) which was recently installed via pacman.
I am using grub-bios with an GPT partition.
Partition table scan:
MBR: protective
BSD: not present
APM: not present
GPT: present
I am following the instructions below which are outlined on the wiki for Installing to GPT BIOS boot partitions.
# modprobe dm-mod
# modprobe part_gpt
# grub-install --target=i386-pc --recheck --debug /dev/sda
# mkdir -p /boot/grub/locale
# cp /usr/share/locale/en\@quot/LC_MESSAGES/grub.mo /boot/grub/locale/en.mo
However, I am getting the following error:
I am running the latest kernel version (3.9.4-1).
[root@fracture ~]# modprobe part_gpt
modprobe: FATAL: Module part_gpt not found.
I was wondering how I could fix this so that I could proceed with upgrading GRUB.
Thank you.

My boot partion is suddenly full when there was no problem previously.
/dev/sda2          29745     29745         0 100% /boot
Am I correct to assume that if I reboot GRUB will no longer function?
