Here' one I use for pretty-much what you're after:
d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string lvm-spare :: 128 512 256 ext3
$defaultignore{ } $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ }
use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /boot } . 70 800 280 ext3
$lvmok{ } $primary{ } $bootable{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ }
filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ / } . 500 3000 5000 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{
format } format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /usr } .
70 1500 3000 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format } format{ } use_filesystem{ }
filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /var } . 256 1024 300% linux-swap $lvmok{ }
method{ swap } format{ } . 70 1500 3000 ext3 $lvmok{ } method{ format }
format{ } use_filesystem{ } filesystem{ ext3 } mountpoint{ /home } . 100 10000
1000000000 ext2 $lvmok{ } method{ keep } .
Without seeing what you're trying it's not easy to tell where you went
wrong, but the trick is to not have '$lvmok{ }' for the /boot partition.
Cheers, Phil.
P.S. That recipe also has the addition of a "keep" partition at the end
to consume the spare space, which I then remove in a late script to
leave a lot of space available in the VG -- hence the 'lvm-spare' name.
Just for completeness, the late_command tidy-up is done thus:
db_get partman-auto-lvm/new_vg_name && lvremove -f /dev/$RET/keep_2
