Problem with Dual boot GRUB

Hello,

First, I wanna tell you that I have this /dev/sda that is partitioned in 4. I've installed Linux Mint 11 64 b on /dev/sda1, swapped the /dev/sda2, make a storage disk on /dev/sda4 and lastly installed Arch on /dev/sda3.

I want to make Linux Mint and Arch do dual boot using Arch's Grub but I think I messed up the configuration.

I added this in the grub config of arch during installation. (/boot/grub/menu.lst)

#(3) Linux Mint 64b
title Linux Mint
root (hd0, 1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38-8-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-8-generic

I don't know what I am messing up.

Can anybody help me?

Re: Problem with Dual boot GRUB

For your configuration, (hd0, 1) refers to /dev/sda2, you should reference /dev/sda1 with (hd0,0)
