Install os-prober and re-run update-grub.
Thanks, the following is the steps taken (which is successful, of course)
1. mount /dev/sda3 (the ext4 os partition) "tune2fs -E test_fs
/dev/sda3;Â mount -t ext4dev /dev/sda3 /mnt/"
2. copy its menu entry entry in /mnt/boot/grub/grub.cfg
to /etc/grub.d/40_custom
3. run update-grub (it should say that it detects the other os's kernel)
4. new entries for that os will be appended in /boot/grub/grub.cfg
Another way to boot an ext4 system is to add 'rootfstype=ext4' to the
kernel line in the /boot/grub/menu.lst.
