Theis looks a little like something I just went through.

Check

     http://tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO/  for general stuff.

also

     man pvcreate
     man vgcfgrestore

and if you want to look at my descriptions of what I did,

      https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2007-January/ 
msg00003.html
      https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2007-January/ 
msg00770.html

I can't say whether that will be more confusion than help. Good luck.
