I suspect you've got the 54 or 64 kernel installed [1], both of which
fail for many people with the 'switch_root: no such file' error.
Backing it down to the 40 kernel may get you farther into the boot and
maybe show whether or not the volume group issue goes away or not. To
get it backed down you'll need to download the kernel, boot into a
rescue mode, chroot, and install the older kernel.
If this fails you might have to go farther back, getting a 2.6.24 kernel
to install, then when booted to that you may be able to install the
2.6.25 rc kernel (2.6.25 kernels had some issues with mkinitrd when done
on a 2.6.25 kernel, I'm not sure if that is resolved).
At present I don't have any means of booting a Linux system that can
perform any maintenance on the system.
The kernel is a dot-64 job.
I just send this by clicking the wrong place!
I just wanted to add that I've downloaded the .65 kernel and converted
it to a tarball, and when my f8 CD gets around to booting, I plan to
simply untar it into / and then try to boot without an initrd.
