For what it's worth, I switched from 32-bit F14 to 64-bit F17. I 
retained the same LVM and physical-volume setup from before. I kept my 
/home partition (actually a logical volume) and reformatted everything 
else. I had no problems at all. Of course, I used Anaconda on a KDE Live 
Spin to do the up-conversion. But I'm not sure why I should succeed 
where the OP failed.
