My question becomes, "What file(s) other than fstab and grub.conf need to change to change the root parttion from an LVM parition to a normal ext partition such as sda2?"
Recreate the mkinitrd in your /boot.
Boot from a rescue disk, mount your system and chroot into that. You can run mkinitrd manually (needs a filename /boot/initrd... and the kernel version) or you can trigger the steps that happen when you install a new kernel, by using a rpm -Uhv --oldpackage kernel... or running the script the rpm would run (rpm -q --scripts kernel prints something like /sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package kernel --mkinitrd --depmod --install 2.6... )

THANKS ROBERTO! This looks like a winner. I will try this method on a test machine shortly.
