Don't know GRUB, but I suppose there is a line which specify your root filesystem. You should have something like: /dev/myvg/mylv instead of /dev/sdaX or /dev/hdaX or any disk name. If you already use this naming scheme, I suggest you post you GRUB configuration file, in order to help us understand how things are configured.
