You can't do that.  Grub doesn't understand LVM (nor will any boot
loader).  Grub must be installed in the MBR or in the beginning of a
standard filesystem...not something layered on top of LVM.  LVM will
not be recognized until the kernel is running, and by the time that
happens, grub is long out of the picture.
