Grub is not incompatible with ext4 root filesystems as long as you, as
you do, have a separate /boot partition with a 'supported' format. It
works fine here with ext2 /boot and ext4 / - but I converted this using
tune2fs from etx3 rather than creating a new etx4 root (but I did create
a new ext4 /home on a different drive)
