Ok. All I know at this point is that when I reverted, my LVs were seen and I could mount them. I do not have / on an LV. If your 2147 kernel was installed with the new mapper and lvm2, then the initrd was built with the new mapper and lvm2. An older kernel with initrd built with previous versions "should work." I see in another thread that you can boot with an older kernel. Try rebuilding the initrd for the 2147 kernel with the reverted mapper and lvm2 installed. I see in rawhide today that it has the older versions.
