So I booted up the system using the CentOS 5.5 LiveCD, but the LiveCD makes the logical volumes browsable using Nautilus, so they are still active and I can't rename them.
Rather than the livecd, you might want to just boot the installer into rescue mode. You will have none of the issues you ran into.
Right. The installer in rescue mode 'magically' deals with the stuff like /sys, /proc, and /dev when it chroots you to your installed system. The shell you end up at is all set up properly. You do want to be careful about uname -r: if your system has a newer (or otherwise different, such as centos plus) kernel installed, you will need to specifiy the kernel version manually.
