  Thanks a lot for your feedback. It seems that the problem is that you
  use logic volume, the script in postinst (which I copied from
  debian-edu-artwork does not support the logical volumes case.

  Maybe you can help me with this issue, is there a way to know which
  physical volume does the logical volume map to ?

  Please send me the outputs of those commands:

  lvdisplay -m

  lvdisplay -m /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00

Output of "lvdisplay -m /dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00" is no different than first portion of "lvdisplay -m" output.

As for, how to determine which physical volume is mapped to which logical volume, you must be aware that logical extents (LE) from one logical volume can be mapped to physical extents (PE) from multiple physical volumes within same volume group.
I believe that you are interested in device that mounts to /boot in this case. Most normal people do not set /boot on LV. So you can edit postinst script to detect if LVs are used and confirm that /boot is not on LV (as the script is already checking if /boot is on separate partition). I am just shooting here in dark, maybe it will help...

I understood from what you meantioned that a logical volume can map to
several physical volumes, is that correct ?

Yes, that's what I was planning to do. The problem is that if /boot is
on an LV, I need to detect which physical volume does it exist on,
especially that you mentioned that a logical volume could map to several
physical volumes.

Anyways, it seems that in your case, /boot is not on a LV, so I still
can't figure the reason of your problem, please run the attached script
(test.sh), and send me its output.

As I said boot should never be on LV (possible but totally not recommended). As for mapping, logical extents that make logical volume can be mapped to physical extents on more than one physical volume.

Here is the output of test.sh

# ./test.sh

as-salamu alaykom,

  I fixed the bug, please try the latest ubuntume-artwork package from
  the PPA.
  It had nothing to do with LVs or so. It had to do with the escape
  sequence (\\) in the SPLASHSED line.

I think that I commented on ubuntume forum that it might be problem with how sed handles your line but still I am getting error. I am using ppa15 and getting as in attached pic.

I am sorry, the system is no longer with me and I cannot test. However, I think that you realized what was the problem and I am sure that your fix would work.
