...and I should have added in my note that after I edited grub.conf,

re-installed grub from the DVD while in rescue mode and then rebooted

may be to do a complete re-install. <Sigh!>
Still sounds most likely that it's just GRUB that you have problems
with, not the whole system.
OK, I have some progress to report but I'm still not sure exactly what is going on. I booted my rescue DVD and ran fdisk:
#fdisk -l

That's probably /boot
/dev/sdb2 14 30401 244091610 8e Linux LVM
That's your LVM partition (obviously).
Disk /dev/dm-0: 247.8 GB, 247833034752 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30130 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00000000
Disk /dev/dm-0 doesn't contain a valid partition table
/dev/dm-X are LVM volumes. /dev/dm-0 is most likely your / filesystem.
Disk /dev/dm-1: 2080 MB, 2080374784 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 252 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x30307800
Disk /dev/dm-1 doesn't contain a valid partition table
That's probably your swap partition (if you have one...2G sounds
like a reasonable swap space).
