Shouldn't that be vgchange -a y ? For some reason on this system (FC5) I see kpartx being run from dmsetup (if it exists), but it does not exist on my system. apt-get tells me kpartx is part of the device-mapper-multipath package which I don't even require. So I wonder if vgchange is sufficient to enable new logical volumes.
