Resizing root partition in LVM broke Grub

I'm using Debian Wheezy hosted on W7 in Virtualbox. I needed to enlarge root partition then added a new virtual disk to virtual machine. Doing the steps mentioned below brings me to grub prompt. I:

  • Added new virtual disk
  • Formatted and mounted
  • Created PV
  • Added to same VG with root partition
  • Extended root partition LV with lvextend
  • Resized the file system.

Everything went well and I checked that with df command and lvscan but after reboot I couldn't boot the system. What point have I missed and how to recover the system?
