Hello,
I've managed to install Arch Linux x86_64 the other day leaving my Arch i686 untouched. I have also an existing Windows Xp installation. This time I wanna do triple-boot these 3 on my grub..:P How can I do that?
Here is my partition scheme:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 3265 26226081 7 HPFS/NTFS (Windows Xp)
/dev/sda2 3266 16308 104767897+ 5 Extended
/dev/sda3 * 16309 16312 32130 83 Linux /boot (x86_64)
/dev/sda5 3266 7183 31471302+ 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda6 7184 10836 29342691 83 Linux / (i686)
/dev/sda7 10837 11444 4883728+ 83 Linux /var (i686)
/dev/sda8 11445 13268 14651248+ 83 Linux / (x86_64)
/dev/sda9 13269 15092 14651248+ 83 Linux /home (x86_64)
/dev/sda10 15093 16308 9767488+ 83 Linux /var (x86_64)
Hope this info would be helpful for solving my prob...
Thanks in advance [

What you need to do is edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst in your most recent install.
For windows you need something like this:
title Windows XP
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
For your other arch it should look like this:
title Arch Linux i686
root (hd0,4)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
for your i686 arch entry you can double check the /boot/grub/menu.lst in that installation to make sure I have it right.
