I have been having luck with the rescue (netinst) image. After coming up
in rescue mode I chroot to /mnt/sysimage and then most (but not all)
things work. I can even use yum to get updates.
(I am trying to get mkinitrd to put in the proper crypto stuff and it seems
to be having a problem with dm-crypt stacked on top of software raid.)
Depending on what you need to look at that may work for you.
