Initially I had a similar setup on one of my older machines. If the whole disk is used as a PV there is no place for GRUB at all to embed the core.img. If you really want to boot this system you could use a floppy or USB stick to do that. Back then I created one big partition on each PV-disk to solve this. Kind regards, Michael
