Can't boot Archlinux with tripple boot environment [solved]

Hi

I've two IDE HD's in my computer.

The first one is for Gentoo and WinXP and the second one should be for archlinux.

I installed archlinux on /dev/hdb1 or better /dev/sdb1 because the archlinux kernel detects the ide-drives with sd*.
The hole second hd is for the archlinux /-partition and I use the swap partition from the first hd.

Here is my /boot/grub/grub.conf on the first hd /dev/hda2

default 0
timeout 5

title=Gentoo Linux
root(hd0,1)
kernel /boot/bzImage root=/dev/hda4 video=vesafb:mtrr,ywrap vga=794

title=Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1

title=Archlinux
root(hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sdb1 ro vga=794
initrd /boot/kernel26.img

Booting Gentoo and WinXP works wihout any problems. But when I choose Archlinux I get right after Enter -> "error 15: cannot find the file"

What's wrong?

Here is are my partitions:

/dev/hda1     ntfs       (WinXP)
/dev/hda2     /boot     (Gentoo)
/dev/hda3    /swap     (Gentoo & Archlinux)
/dev/hda4   /             (Gentoo)

/dev/hba1    /           (Archlinux)

Re: Can't boot Archlinux with tripple boot environment [solved]

it was the space between root and (hd1,0)

ahhhhhhhhhh shame on me!

that's the right line:

root (hd1,0)
