How does the disk partition look like (fdisk)?  Maybe there is garbage
data on hda2 that confuse pvcreate.  If I recall correctly the lvm howto
has a suitable dd commend to take care of that.  Check the lvm archive
to see if it is a known issue.  You could collapse the partitions into
one pv and vg, then create two seperate lv's from it.

Ok.  It is easier to communicate that preference with a reply-to
heaeder.
