grub not showing ubuntu partition

My hard disk partition is as following -
/dev/sda1 - ext3 - ubuntu installed here
/dev/sda3 - ext4 - /boot for Fedora13
/dev/sda4 - ext4 - remaining partition of Fedora13(/, /home, /var )
/dev/sda2 - extended - created when I installed Ubuntu 9.04
/dev/sda5 - linux-swap - created with ubuntu installation

As far as I can remember I think the default option for Fedora 13 - for
/boot and for / and others also are ext4.
