Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-28 14:56:17 UTC 
Can you try adding 'nompath' to your boot options?  

Peter -- this stuff has _GOT_ to be fixed.  Even if it's by us catching the
exception and then just disabling mpath/dmraid.
Comment 2 Brian Brock 2006-09-28 19:00:26 UTC 
Adding 'nompath' fixes the initial traceback.
Comment 3 Peter Jones 2006-09-29 18:16:01 UTC 
Should be fixed with python-pyblock-0.24-1 and anaconda-11.1.0.103-1 .
Comment 4 Brian Brock 2007-03-20 14:38:05 UTC 
I haven't seen this problem recently, closing.
