ok I now made it look like this: 

menuentry "My Linux Kernel on (lvm2_core-boot)" {
    set root=(lvm2_core_boot)
    linux (lvm2_core_boot)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram
    initrd (lvm2_core_boot)/boot/initrd
}

this I used for my core.img

grub-mkimage -d /boot/grub -v -o /boot/grub/core.img ls ext2 gpt pc linux 
_linux boot chain configfile fshelp help lvm

and this is the most far I got:

grub-setup -d /boot/grub -v -r '(lvm2_core-boot)' -m /boot/grub/device.map 
'(lvm2_core-boot)'

grub-setup: info: prefix = /grub
grub-setup: info: getting the size of /boot/grub/boot.img
grub-setup: info: reading /boot/grub/boot.img
grub-setup: info: getting the size of /boot/grub/boot.img
grub-setup: info: getting the size of /boot/grub/core.img
grub-setup: info: reading /boot/grub/core.img
grub-setup: info: getting the size of /boot/grub/core.img
grub-setup: error: unknown device

why I grub probe I get the same:

grub-probe -v /boot/grub
grub-probe: info: changing current directory to /dev

cannot find a GRUB drive for lvm2_core-boot.
