Not a good version to use.
The md/partition detection was improved in 2.00.32.

Remember to run 'vgscan' after adding partitions;
and to reboot if fdisk fails to reload the partition table.

Newer versions let you add -vvvv and see exactly why any
device was ignored.  For older versions like your you
need to turn on debug logging to a file to get that information.
