For starters, you're using "clearpart --all" which will erase all your
existing partitions. I think your part pv.1 should use --onpart rather
than --ondisk and you might need --useexisting on the volgroup line.

For reference here is a disk layout I've successfully used to put
everything onto existing lvm partitions:

clearpart --none
part /boot   --fstype ext3  --onpart=/dev/sda2
part pv.01 --onpart=/dev/sda5
volgroup privg pv.01 --useexisting
logvol /          --fstype ext3 --useexisting --name=priroot
--vgname=privg --grow --size=6000
logvol /var       --fstype ext3 --useexisting --name=privar
--vgname=privg --size=1024
logvol swap       --fstype swap --useexisting --name=priswap
--vgname=privg --size=1024
