Upgrade-grub and boot-repair fails. Unable to boot one of my Linux systems, is there a way around?

I have three Linux and two Windows systems on one computer.

After updating the kernel on one (archlinux) and running update-grub on the default (BIOS) boot disk (Xubuntu 12.04), the boot menu does not report the archlinux system.

After running boot-repair, I cannot boot the archlinux system by selecting it as the boot disk in BIOS because it now uses the boot configuration on the Xubuntu system instead of booting directly from its disk.

I really need to be able to boot the archlinux system, how can I do this?

The 10.04 Ubuntu and the 12.04 Xubuntu grub2 failed for different reasons, so I used the third Linux system to solve the problem, see os-prober fails to identify a linux system so I need to write a custom grub2 menu entry as a workaround, how? for details.
