  Thank you for the careful reading.  Yes, spelled correctly, the LVM
can be mounted (wiping egg off face):

[root at localhost mapper]# stat -f /dev/mapper/VolGroupF9-LogVolF9
  File: "/dev/mapper/VolGroupF9-LogVolF9"
    ID: 0        Namelen: 255     Type: tmpfs
Block size: 4096       Fundamental block size: 4096
Blocks: Total: 64379      Free: 64353      Available: 64353
Inodes: Total: 64379      Free: 63374
[root at localhost mapper]# mount -t ext3 /dev/mapper/VolGroupF9-LogVolF9
/mnt/F9root
[root at localhost mapper]#

Even though the Free block count seems too large for a filesystem
that is 55% full, data is still accessible.  Nothing exciting was
written to /var/log/messages on the way down, and nothing was flushed
out of buffers to log anything from the failed boot attempts.

/var/log/yum.log shows 4 (of the 6) updates completed:

/var/log/messages ends with:

Guess I will try booting without "quiet", etc. to attempt to learn more.

Cheers,
