This repeat is somewhat strange, but anyway...

What happens if you invoke
vgchange -ay
in this shell? If it activates the volume group, exit the shell and
see if it boots up.
If it does not, then please check whether
* your disk was detected (you should find it amongst the kernel messages),
* your physical volume (probably /dev/sda2, but you can check eg. by
issuing the pvs command after booting off the installation CD in
rescue mode) is available,
* lsmod reports dm_mod, dm_mirror and dm_snapshot,
* and /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is sane (scan=?, filter=?; vgchange -vvv -ay
may give further clues),
* ls -l /dev/mapper.
