You have a typo. You're missing a / in from of dev where you specify root.
Change root=dev/sda3 to root=/dev/sda3

i've changed it but it doesn't start, gives me the same error 15

You also have the same root specified for both Arch and Ubuntu.
For arch you have root (hd0,3) which does correspond to kernel paramater root=/dev/sda4.
For ubuntu you have root (hd0,3) again but you have root=/dev/sda3. If kernel parameter root=/dev/sda3 is correct for ubuntu then you have to change to root (hd0,2).

Can you please just install GAG to MBR, and always install grub to _root_ ( i.e. boot) partition. Then, you'll have non of these problems in the future with mixing linuxes / BSDs / WinXP...
