It turns out /var is also on lvm, so that probably wouldn't work either. But I tried sysresccd 1.1.5 and found that it automatically assembled the raid devices and started lvm! All I needed to do was "vgchange -a y" to make them available. So I just got everything mounted and used the chroot method. The machine is up and running again. Thanks so much for your help!
