[Done]boot failure :Failed to parse block device name for /dev/sda3

hi , i have installed 2 linux distro ubuntu/arch ., and using ubuntu's grub to boot these 2 system

/dev/sda1   *           1        3825    30724281    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/sda2            3826       11120    58597087+  83  Linux          <---- ubuntu
/dev/sda3           11121       15256    33222420   83  Linux          <----arch
/dev/sda4           15257       19457    33744532+   5  Extended
/dev/sda5           15257       19330    32724373+  83  Linux
/dev/sda6           19331       19457     1020096   82  Linux swap / Solaris

usually i use chroot to do UPDATE  each distro within  another ... it's works fine normally . ..
but today , i  did 'pacman -Syu' in my ubuntu using chroot to update my arch , after that ,  got boot error ( to arch ):

Failed to parse block device name for /dev/sda3 ......

here is my script to do chroot :( within ubuntu /dev/sda3 mounted at /mnt/arch )

sudo mount -t proc none /mnt/arch/proc
sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/arch/dev
sudo mount -t sysfs none /mnt/arch/sys

sudo chroot /mnt/arch /bin/bash

i noticed that , there have kernel update ... maybe this cause something wrong ?
how can i solve this problem .. thanks !
