lvmcreate_initrd failing...not sure why

I am trying to convert my root file system over to LVM (1.0.6 running on linux 2.4.20). I have read the LVM-HOWTO cover to cover several times, but I seem to be having trouble with lvmcreate_initrd. Attached is the output when I run lvmcreate_initrd -v.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

Don't. All you do is make it difficult to recover from LVM problems. If you mount the major filesystems (including /usr and /var) as LV's / only needs to be around 80MB for /bin, /lib, /etc, and /boot. For the minimal amount of space you use, why bother with it?
