Volume Group creation

I got it done.  Tks.

# pvcreate /dev/hda2
File descriptor 3 left open
File descriptor 4 left open
File descriptor 5 left open
File descriptor 6 left open
Physical Volume "dev/hda2" Successfully
Volume group "VG Successfully created"


But unfortunately can't proceed further.

# lvcreate -L 8G -n UbuntuRoot VG
# lvcreate -L 8G -n /dev/hda2/VG/UbuntuRoot
# lvcreate -L 8G -n /dev/hda2/UbuntuRoot VG
etc. all failed.
displaying;
.....
......
OriginalLogicalVolume[Path]  [PhysicalVolumePath...]

Whether I need creating;
/dev/hda5 /  (for UbuntuRoot)
/dev/hda6 /home (for UbuntuHome)
/dev/hda7 swap
/dev/hda8 (umount) (for FC5Root)
/dev/hda9 (umount) (for FC5Home)
first.

TIA
