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.
