No problem.

 I do not get the alloc
 magic is broken error any more with grub2 and lvm.mod. Grub2 never
 works if I have lvm.mod included.

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.

 I ran grub-emu with my grub.cfg
 which I have attached with this email. I get the following error when
 I use the grub.cfg in grub-emu
 
 error: invalid arch independent ELF magic

 I have attached grub.cfg along with this email. grub.cfg_broken gives
 the above error while grub.cfg_working is the only working config file
 to make my laptop boot.
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 I am sorry for this late reply.

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

Before updating to 1.96+20080724-8 version it would just hang with it reading
Welcome to Grub

 Please try the freshly new uploaded 1.96+20080724-8 version.

The freshly uploaded 1.96+20080724-8 version I end up with the rescue mode. I
have to manually load my kernel using the command line.

I hope this helps. Will do my best to provide you all the information I can.

Sorry for a late reply. Firstly I hadnt check this email for a long
time as I was busy with my work and secondly my girl friend had
borrowed my laptop for the last three months. I do not get the alloc
magic is broken error any more with grub2 and lvm.mod. Grub2 never
works if I have lvm.mod included. I ran grub-emu with my grub.cfg
which I have attached with this email. I get the following error when

 If so can you reproduce this in grub-emu ?

Does this problem still exist with grub-pc 1.96+20080704-2 currently in 
testing/unstable ?
If so can you reproduce this in grub-emu ?
