Hi, I have installed Archlinux on /dev/hda8 on my disk. I've skiped cfdisk and installing bootloader becuase i allready have partitioned disk, and grub installed in mbr. I add these lines to my menu.lst in /boot/grub
title Arch, 2.6.28
root (hd0,7)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=9385bea7-3764-4b9e-a878-916e864e32d9 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
but when trying to boot system i get grub error - Bad file or directory type. I am sure these files ARE on partition and they are not links.
There was a Slackware before this installation and he has booted normaly.
Where's the problem?

i belive you should write like this if you identify it by uuid:
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/9385bea7-3764-4b9e-a878-916e864e32d9but i'm not sure, i have root=/dev/sda1 in mine instead
hope it works

I don't think this is the reason because it's not kernel problem but grub problem. However I've tried it but unsucessfully.
Maybe it's bugged disk because cfdisk wrote this
