lvm 1.0.3, kernel 2.4.17 and the libs...
I used the following as suggested by Heinz:
pvcreate -ff /dev/sda7
It worked, I was able to recover most of my LVs, but three. However, of these two were not important at all and I have a backup for the other one.
BTW, I find out why I ran into an error about a missing definition. As Heinz suggested I was actually executing a older copy of the utilities which were copied somewhere else in case of emergency and were before the newest ones in the path.
Thanks to all for your help,
