Chimera does not recognize Ubuntu 14.10 (same drive install)

Yep, it's another one of those again...

Allright, my setup:

I have an SSD on which I have 2 partitions, 1 for yosemite (already installed using Unibeast & Multibeast) and a partition on which I want to install Ubuntu. Chimera is installed to the MBR and the yosemite partition is marked as active.

My system is a BIOS (legacy) system, not UEFI. My hard drive is configured in GPT.

During the Ubuntu install, I made sure the bootloader would be installed to the partition (not the MBR, in this case /dev/sdd4). After the Ubuntu install, the option to boot ubuntu would not show up in Chimera.

I boot back into the LiveCD and using boot-repair, I purge and then force install the grub2 bootloader onto the /dev/sdd4. But once again, Ubuntu does not show up in Chimera...

I rebooted into the liveCD again to change flags on the partitions using GParted. I tried with flags in these configurations:

- EFI part: boot, esp & Ubuntu: boot
- EFI part: boot, esp & Ubuntu: bios-grub
- EFI part: boot, esp & Ubuntu: legacy-boot

But in all these cases, Chimera does not pick up the Ubuntu install ...

Anyone encountered the same issues and tried something else besides this?

Is your Ubuntu partition using ext4? If so, it's not supported.

Well, I tried reinstalling Ubuntu to ext3 partition, but Chimera still doesn't pick it up...

I booted back into Ubuntu, opened gparted, erased the ext4 partition (to unallocated space), formatted it to ext3 and then installed Ubuntu (and the grub bootloader) on this partition.

I once again tried with force installing grub and changing the flags on the partition but no luck ...

Something else I need to do because it is a GPT formatted drive?
