Ok, this will need some more experimental work I'm afraid. Could you try to do
some manual steps and report back before we actually build this into
setup-storage?

On that particular host, I'd like to know how

parted -s /dev/sda mklabel msdos
parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 512B 536871423B
parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary  536871424B 80026361855B
parted -s /dev/sda set 1 boot on
mkfs.ext3  /dev/sda1
parted -s /dev/sda set 2 lvm on
vgchange -a y vg0

behaves in comparison to

vgchange -a n vg0
parted -s /dev/sda mklabel msdos
parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary ext3 512B 536871423B
parted -s /dev/sda mkpart primary  536871424B 80026361855B
parted -s /dev/sda set 1 boot on
mkfs.ext3  /dev/sda1
parted -s /dev/sda set 2 lvm on
vgchange -a y vg0

Thanks a lot,
Michael
