I had the same problem but with a MB/CPU swapout. I ended up just
installing from scratch. Wasn't a bid deal since I have a separate
home partition (which is not in an LVM). It was kind of frustrating
though. Like the OP, rescue found the volume group fine. Nothing
special on my end just onboard SATA (AMD 770) on the new computer and
nForce4 SATA on the old.
