I'm not sure exactly what you are doing, or trying to do
(and I do not set up as an expert anyway),
but I don't think /boot can be on an LVM partition.
I have boot on /dev/sdb2,
and all the LVM partitions on /dev/sdb6 .

The information from your system is of interest.
What am I doing you ask? I'm not sure myself but I have three boxes
running F7, two installed from the Live CD and all three work nicely,
however the one I installed yesterday is unhappy with the updated
Kernel. I will simply not boot from that kernel for the present, no
doubt there will be another and when it comes along the situation will
change so I've decided to let it slide until then since it's apparently
not a recognized problem with a known fix.
I thank you for your response and comments.
