Thanks. I'll try that. I only set the virtual memory that high because someone here at work, who claims to have worked with SUSE linux, suggested that the error code I was getting may have indicated I was out of memory. It was originally at 512M.
The results of the cat /proc/partitions was just ONE listing for each volume, the "dasda" version, not the "dasda1".

Although, you should shrink the virtual storage down to something reasonable, say 128MB, and also add a VDISK for a paging volume. > didn't when I did this on a SLES 9 system a few months ago.

If you do a "cat /proc/partitions" command, and you don't see your volumes listed (at least twice), once with "dasda" and again with "dasda1", then you haven't put a partition on them. (Substitute the appropriate device name for your 6 new DASD volumes.) Go back into yast, create one partition on each of them (using the "do not format" check box), and then go into configure LVM again.
