I dual-boot Ubuntu and Arch both 64bit. I use Ubuntu-GRUB to boot into either Systems. Since Arch is a rolling distro it is always there and I clean install whenever there is new Ubuntu to install. Update-Grub always finds Arch, no issues until I installed BODHI along with other two.

During Bodhi installation I got the prompt that I need to UNMOUNT the partitions. Now none of my partitions were mounted, as far as I can tell. I ignored the Warning and continued with Bodhi installation.

After the install I went back to Ubuntu to update grub... and guess what? The Grub Update did not find Arch install. It found Bodhi alright. Then later I had to MOUNT Arch partition and run update-grub, only then did the GRUB found Arch Install.

I am not a technichal guy so I have described my issue with GRUB as a layman. If launchpad needs any data from my Desktop I am willing to help.

I hope this gives some pointers towards resolving the Grub issue.
