As I said in my prior response. if this was your intent you neglected to
state it. In addition, it is totally irrelevant to solving Denny's
problem and just confuses the issues. He was trying to create a HPFS
volume to install eCS and the message you referred to does not occur for
this operation.

This is all typically. The fix is to run dfsee and apply the standard
fixups. Once this is done, lvm can usually create the volumes from the
free space or from the the JFS partition created by dfsee. In rare cases,
you have to zero out the first cylinder. One of Jordan's drives needed
this.

You neglected to run the partition table cleanups and the geometry fixups.
It's not always required, but it provides an extra chance to avoid
problems.
