If you are using LVM, I would expect resizing partitions to be easy and 
painless, right? LVM was actually introduced precisely for this purpose, 
AFAIK.

Once preupgrade complained it needs more space for /boot, I would use LVM 
tools to expand /boot accordingly, then start again. That said, please note 
that I never upgrade Fedora (always reformat and do a clean install), and that 
I don't use LVM (always manually create a custom bare-bones partition layout 
to suit my needs). IOW, I may not be the proper person to give the above 
advice. ;-)

HTH, :-)
