Mine is a DL585 G2. Also it looks like that since VGs exists from the
previous install, pvcreate is failing. Problem is unlike the standard
PVCREATE command we cant seem to force the PV creation using -ff -y
switches.

I can afford to hold my system for a few days. I can upload the dump
file to the bug. Just going to get the dump file now.

Cheers.
