LVM is not part of Grub. Neither LILO of Grub understand LVM
volumes, but the Kernel does. If you have /boot on a LVM volume, it
can give you problems. This is not a problem if you give /boot its
own partition, and do not make it part of an LVM volume, or do not
use LVM at all.

This is just a guess, but it sounds like you are using LVM and /boot
is on a LVM volume. In any case, you are better off using Grub with
F7 - you will get better support from the lists.
