Now, I'm really confused. I originally used Yast --> Hardware --> DASD --> Perform Action --> Activate, then Format. Neither of these screens has a "Do not format" option.
So, now I'm not sure where in Yast you want me to go. I tried System --> Partitioner, but I don't know where to go from there. There are "Create", "Edit", "Delete" "dasdfmt", "LVM", "RAID" and "Expert" options. Or am I in the wrong place.

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.
