GRUB fails with 'symbol `grub_real_boot_time` not found'

I updated GRUB on Arch. When I try to boot, GRUB gives the error mentioned in the title. I know that grub_real_boot_time is provided by boottime.mod, but running insmod boottime fails with error: symbol grub_boot_time_head not found. I cannot boot from external media, as this machine has only a CD drive and all my linux discs are DVDs. What module provides the symbol grub_boot_time_head? I cannot try what is described on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=173939 because I cannot boot from the install disc (or any external media).



EDIT: from looking at the GRUB source, I can see that struct grub_boot_time *grub_boot_time_head is defined in misc.c. However, there is no misc.mod. Also, I can find the string grub_boot_time_head in boottime.mod by running grep. What am I doing wrong? Is my hard disk corrupted?
