Anaconda will then hang while probing discs.  See the attached screenshot.  It looks like from program.log that "multipath -c /dev/sdb" did not complete?  However, I can run multipath on the command line just fine.

[anaconda root@ppc64lehamzytest2 ~]# multipath -c /dev/sda
/dev/sda is not a valid multipath device path
[anaconda root@ppc64lehamzytest2 ~]# multipath -c /dev/sdb
/dev/sdb is not a valid multipath device path
[anaconda root@ppc64lehamzytest2 ~]# multipath -c /dev/sdc
/dev/sdc is not a valid multipath device path

Can't consistently reproduce it.
