I had a similar problem with a ppc install on RHEL. I think (but I am
not 100% positive) that it is a LVM1 / LVM2 compatibility issue.
What I had to do was use fdisk and wipe the partitions and then I
recreated them in anaconda using the raid and lvm tools in anaconda.
I have never actually had that problem on CentOS-4, but it is the same
code, so I'm sure it happens in C4 too.
