I've selected lvm2 as component because it seemed the most related

Description of problem:
This morning my system worked fine.
After reboot without any new install the system now tell me that no root can be found and where it should be an ext4 file system now it seems that there is a silicon_medley_raid_member.
Executed S.M.A.R.T. short test by BIOS, everything is ok.
Using the F15 DVD I've opened a rescue shell, executed vgck and pvck and everything seemed ok.
Activated the lvm volume, called fsck.ext4 -v on vg_root, no errors found.
Called fsck.ext4 -f -v on vg_root, no errors found.
mount -t ext4 of vg_root works fine but if not specified, the fs type
detected is silicon_medley_raid_member.
I'm doing a backup of all relevant data on my system but I would
understand what is happened and, if possible, restore the system without
reinstalling everything.
How reproducible:
Always reproducible
Any idea on what happened?

If you do not use raid, try to add rd_NO_MD to kernel boot parameters
(or equivalent, see man dracut / dracut.kernel).

The notebook has no bios raid and just 1HD, I never used RAID on this system.
It seems something like this:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1711929
The only difference is that I'm using ext4 instead of ext3 so ext4 works
fine if specified. Maybe ext4 and silicon_medley_raid_member have
similar signature and just some bits are somehow corrupted?

I do not think blkid detect it wrongly, perhaps just there are both
signatures.
Perhaps "dmraid -E" or wipefs can wipe the fake raid signature?

Did you try "dmraid -E" yet, like Milan proposed?

dmraid -E -r says no raid disk with name lv_root.
The offset for silicon_medley_raid_member seems to be quite high.
Is it safe to call wipefs -o 0x4e1fffe60 on lv_root?

After mdadm or blkid update it starts to prefer raid signature before ext4 one.
I guess the issue can be closed now, right?

Never used RAID on that system. If the signature was there, it was just
garbage left from a previous partition not zeroed during a partition
resizing / format.

Well, the system now seems to be ok. I'm just curious about the dynamic
of the incident but I can set the status to closed notabug. I've choosen
notabug because I can't find any evidence that a specific package caused
the issue.
