Hi, Which bootloader are you trying to use ?
I experienced same problems trying to boot with "root" kernel parameter in "/dev/$VolumeGroup/$LogicalVolume" format. It's better to use "/dev/mapper/$VolumeGroup-$LogicalVolume" as kernel parameter and as /etc/fstab entry. With these changes I solved a similar problem.
