What about hda2? According to your fdisk output, that's the PV on this disk.

Does hda2 appear in /proc/partitions?

Likewise - all I can see here is hda1 - that's a type 0x83 (Linux)
partition, rather than the 0x8e (Linux LVM) partition that we're
interested in here.

Can you put the complete output of vgscan -vvv and pvscan -vvv somewhere
on the web and post the links here?

You can use a pastedump service like http://p.opsat.net/new if you don't
have access to somewhere to host this.

Cheers,

Bryn.
