I didn't do a clean install, but I do have all the updates ... no love 
regarding this issue. Frankly I don't see how a clean install or having 
updates helps the problem. The only way I see this issue going away is 
if the package lvm2-2.00.15-2 is NOT installed if it isn't being used. 
To that end I tried to remove it:

ganci at mcduff> rpm --erase lvm2
error: Failed dependencies:
        lvm2 is needed by (installed) mkinitrd-3.5.22-1

Since I need mkinitrd because I make my own kernels I am stuck. This 
problem is not a serious one ... just annoying.
