i am able to confirm that /proc/partitions does not have a partition entry for the disk but pvcreate still fails. i am using a devfs kernel so i thought there might be some strange behavior between lvm and devfs. is there a fix or known issues regarding lvm and devfs?
if you have devfs you should use the devfs long mane to reference your pv eg: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc as to why the error message is misleading i would not say, lvm1 tools are very buggy wrt the handling of device names.
