LVM Help?

Hello list,

I'm playing with LVM, and, well i'm stuck. I have tried any number
of configurations; using fdasd to partition dasdc, using freshly
dasdfmt'ed dasdc, and on all attempts pvcreate fails. I can partition
this drive and mount it. Normal read/writes work, so i guess the
VM end of things is OK.

Has anyone done this? Does anyone know what i've done wrong?
Does anyone know if this can be done?

TIA
.karl
