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)
