I thought that it might be a squeeze v/s wheezy problem so I
downloaded a squeeze netinst and ran your lvm preseed against it. The
VM installed and booted fine.
As a start and without diagnosing further, I'd boot from an install CD
in rescue mode and re-create the initramfs either with
"update-initramfs -u -k ..." or "update-initramfs -d -k ... ;
update-initramfs -c -k ...".
You might want to run "update-grub" after that, for good measure; or
even "grub-install ... ; update-grub".
