You're both genius, Ellies! As you recommended, following menuentry sorted the 
"no argument specified" out:

menuentry "Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda3)" {
    insmod part_msdos
    insmod ntfs
    set root='(hd0,msdos3)'
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 125c5cdd5c5cbd63
    drivemap -s (hd0) ${root}
    chainloader +1
}

Thank you very much, both Ellies specially Elly#2 ;)

You have eagle eyes Andy! You're right. When I formatted the boot partition 
with ext3, I thought I should rewrite "insmod ext2" to "insmod ext3". But now, 
as you suggested, rolling back the mistake sorted "error: file not found" out 
as below:

menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 3.4.1-lfs-SVN-20120617" {
    insmod ext2
    set root=(hd0,7)
    linux   /vmlinuz-3.4.1-lfs-SVN-20120617 root=/dev/sda6 ro
}

Thanks a lot Andy!
