What does /etc/fstab look like? See if "vgchange -ay" activates fedora, if so then rebuild the initramfs.
Use dracut to rebuild the initial ramdisk and see if that changes anything something like; dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) You would need to manually substitute the kernel versions if you are building different kernels initramfs. and reboot and see if that fixes it. I have a machine with an nvme that from time to time does not get seen at boot and fails to find root. Booting back the old kernel and rebuilding the intramfs fixes it. I have spent a few minutes examing the working and non-working initramfs's and do not see what is missing from the bad one.
