what do you mean by "doenst starts INIT"? Is the kernel not found
(a LILO or GRUB problem) or does "init" not find the root partition?
Or was the LV-partition, you created, not found?

Are both disks connected to the same controller?
Are they IDE or SATA disks?

If you have several disk controllers on board, you may be
surprised to find /dev/hda1 turning into /dev/hde1, as
the sequence of your different controllers is not necessary
stable, if you connect additional disks.

BTW: why do you want an new VG? Why not expanding your current
VG by a new disk?
