This is not a reply with a solution and I apologize for that. I recently ran
into a similar problem and never got it solved. To use LVM, I had to wipe my
disk clean and start from scratch. When I posted my problem, Chris Rouch
suggested the "--use-existing" option on the logvol lines. That still did
not work for me. 

Sorry not to be helpful,
