HI,
I installed arch after debian, so arch grub replaced the one that debian installed. I have added the debian entries in arch grub
title Debian GNU/Linux, kernel 2.6.26-1-686
root (hd0,5)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.26-1-686 root=/dev/sda6 ro noapic quiet
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-686
But the grub is not booting it. It says no such file. The same entries are working in debain grub, if I recover that one using debain install CD. Any idea/solution

We ues this by Windows OS mostly ))) You must specify exactly the kernel, initrd, root... How can it work ? )))
Is the arch and debian on the same harddisk ? Are the two menu.lst the same really (of course without arch mark in the arch menu.lst)

webofunni, are you sure that arch linux is seeing your partitions the same way that debian does? Not sure how many drives you have. debian may show /dev/sda6 where are linux may show it as something else (doubtful if you only have one drive though).
I usually set up grub and fstab using uuid. look here for some info on that.

At boot time, go to the grub prompt and use tab completion to find the correct entries.

Hi All,
Thank you for the suggestions.
But I have already solved it. That was my mistake. The drive order were changed when I deleted and recreated the swap for Arch. That was the problem.
wickedlester, Yes that is a good option to avoid this type of issues.
Thanks again to all.
