What you have is a Guest machine contained in an LVM volume; the Host
machine boots normally.

If you wanted to boot the guest machine, then you may need to do more
works for conversion. My host machine is with dropbear within initrd
boot and full disk encryption. It boots fine with or with the LVM
created instance. My purpose was to create a KVM host and then create
guests (like this one) as needed.
