What do you mean with that? What is GRUB telling you?
Does it go to rescue mode without showing any error message or do does
it hang?
Please try the freshly new uploaded 1.96+20080724-8 version.
There was a bug in the LVM module that the error variable was given back
to the upper layer so it goes to rescue mode even if it shouldn't in
that case.

This is normal grub-emu doestn't support modules at all but lvm.mod is
compiled in, so you don't need to load it to use your lvm devices with
e.g. `ls' command.

Once again no problem :)
A `late' reply like yours is better then getting none at all for months.
