It seems that Athena installer could recognize that there are other OS
in other hda's, yet it cannot identify them and mistake them for
Windows/Dos.
I installed Athena in a computer with Windows and Linux, and the
installer mistook both partitions for Win/Dos OS, so it missed up the
loading command for linux in GRUB. It tries to load linux the same way
it does with windows without loading the kernel.
I needed to edit the GRUB command manually so all the three OS's work.
