[linux-lvm] pvcreate ignores volumes with error code:253

Hi,

I am trying to create LVM on my drives, but pvcreate -vvv throws up an error message saying: fails with an error message:/dev/hd*: Skipping: Unrecognised LVM device type 253.
I am trying to debug if this is a device driver problem or if LVM does not recognize the entry of a previously unknown device.
Can you please help.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Abhilash

Obtain the following:
# lvm version
# lvm dumpconfig devices
# cat /proc/devices

253 in the block section of /proc/devices points to a word that should be either
built in or appearing in the dumpconfig output.
