From Dave Jones in another thread, see especially sentence in ():

"This is actually a broken lvm2/device-mapper problem.
Downgrade those to the versions that shipped with FC5, and
reinstall the kernel, and it'll boot just fine.

(The reason the old kernel continued to work is because it
 still had the old versions of lvm2 in its initrd)
