I did that.

I first edited the lucid 40_custom file with the contents from the karmic 
40_custom file (I had made a backup of this file) which did recognize the 
other operating systems.

Then I ran: sudo update-grub

And that did not work. 

I mean that such an important part of an OS as the bootloader should work 
out of the box and recognize all the other installed OS without any bugs.
If not a lot of people might get a heavy problem. *smile*
