Just to make sure, grub is showing up and booting your Linux kernel, but
the initramfs fails to find LVM devices, right?

Please share your installer's syslog (/var/log/installer/syslog in the
installed system). You might find d-i's rescue mode helpful to grab such
files.

It might be worth attaching the contents of your initramfs as well:
  lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img* | sort

System is installing perfectly. But after the installation, when rebooting file 
systems on the LVM are not found.
I assume that the required module for lvm is not inside the initrd/ramfs 
created during the installation.
