You're using GRUB Legacy, so perhaps an ext4 support issue? I did a
quick internet search, and it looks like GRUB Legacy has to be
patched
to support ext4.
I am not really sure whether the newly installed system has GRUB Legacy
or the GRUB2 as I see no "menu.lst" file in the /boot directory, but I'd
find the "grub.cfg" file somewhere in the /boot directory.
I ran the "grub-install -v" command (after chrooting into the root
partition of the newly installed system) to find that the version of
GRUB is 1.98.
You could just use a Live CD of another distro to install GRUB2
instead.
Just mount your partition and do
# grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
I ran a live session of Trisquel 4.5 and hit the following commands:
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
# mount --bind /sys /mnt/sys
# chroot /mnt
# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda
# update-grub
After this, I restarted the system and Bang! GRUB loaded successfully
and started gNewSense 3.0 alpha. I was able to log in to GNOME.

Thanks for your response Andrew Roffey.
