Problems with GRUB (Linux/Linux Dualboot)

Hello there!
I'm coming from Ubuntu Linux and recently red a lot of good things about Archlinux, so i thought I could give it a try.

So I just installed Archlinux until the part where the bootmanager comes. Here I interrupted the installation and booted Ubuntu to manually change my menu.lst, means, I tried it.

But after rebooting, i can't get Arch to boot:

Error 15: File not found

Ubuntu still boots up fine.
What did I Wrong?
Arch is installed this way:

s/hda1 boot
s/hda3 root
s/hda5 swap
s/hda6 home

(Ubuntu is completely at s/hdb)

Here's my menu.lst:

title           Arch Linux
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd          /boot/kernel26.img

title        Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-23-386
root        (hd1,0)
kernel        /vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/mapper/root cryptoroot=/dev/hdb3 ro quiet quiet 
initrd        /initrd.img-2.6.15-23-386
savedefault
boot

title        Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.15-23-386 (recovery mode)
root        (hd1,0)
kernel        /vmlinuz-2.6.15-23-386 root=/dev/mapper/root cryptoroot=/dev/hdb3 ro quiet single
initrd        /initrd.img-2.6.15-23-386
boot

Hope you can help..

You have a /boot partition so try

title           Arch Linux
root            (hd0,0)
kernel          /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd          /kernel26.img
