I do it all the time with ECKD (/dev/dasd??) devices. I just recently did it with an EDEV on my Slack/390x development system. ECKD/fdasd doesn't support any partition types other than Linux Native and swap. (That will be changing with SLES11 SP2.) Do your EDEVs show up on your system as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, etc.? To be honest, I don't think LVM itself cares about the partition type. pvcreate will use any partition you point it at.
