I am a little late on this one, but I used to get that using YAST all the time. Easiest thing is to go command line, but in YAST, go to Partitioner and define your partitions and apply before going to LVM.

I vaguely remember seeing a 4010 return code and vaguely associate it with trying to make a physical volume (PV) out of a disk with a PV signature already on it. That's probably why you ran into this the second time, but not the first. Did you reformat the disks at the "DASD Management" screen? I'm guessing not. Try the install again making sure you activate and format all disks that will need to become PVs. Also, in the "Add Partition on <dasd>" screen, heed the statement in the Cookbook: "The disk /dev/dasdb1 will be used in a logical volume. Select "Do not format partition" and "Do not mount partition". I believe this will prevent the 4010 error. Hope this helps.
