Not without some error messages and the like to go on.

LVM doesn't care about device names, or DASD address ordering, etc.  All it 
cares about is if it can find the UUIDs it expects for all its PVs.  Those are 
written on the disk volumes when pvcreate and vgextend is done.

If it can't find all those UUIDs, then it will throw a fit.  Usually that means 
that a PV was added to the VG, and that volume was not available at the next 
reboot.  Most often that's the result of not re-running mkinitrd and zipl.  
(YaST will do that for you automatically if you use it, otherwise you have to 
remember to do it.  Not sure if Red Hat has a similar mechanism to keep things 
in synch.)
