Lot's of us/most of us, have LVM with CKD devices. Never been a problem. First question, do you have CKD devices available? i.e. in your VM directory, are the disks defined to Linux defined like:
MDISK 0150 3390 0001 10016 L1305F MR MINIOPT NOMDC MDISK 0160 3390 0001 10016 L13063 MR MINIOPT NOMDC MDISK 0161 3390 0001 10016 L13195 MR MINIOPT NOMDC MDISK 0162 3390 0001 03338 L1361C MR MINIOPT NOMDC Note the 3390 device type. My first guess, is that you have native devices defined in the directory and Linux is trying to correct your configuration to match reality. Otherwise, need more info...

We're trying to install SLES11 SP1 on EDEVs and wanted to setup a data LUN using LVM but YaSt keeps changing the type to native linux when we set it to LVM. Not sure if we are doing something wrong or LVM is not supported on these types of devices.
