Bob, you might try this:
1. Boot from a Live Spin
2. Use the Logical Volume instructions here:

to mount the root and boot partitions then to re-install grub
3. Reboot server and all is well
I posted this recently when I had an upgrade issue on an F8 machine. My
problem was that rescue disk boot does not give you the tools to mount
an LVM if "chroot" doesn't work. Booting a Live Spin gives you
everything you need to mount up, fix the problem, then you can reboot.
Just follow the link and you will (should) find everything you need.
