This issue has been proposed when we are only considering blocker issues in the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. It has been denied for the current Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** If you would still like this issue considered for the current release, ask your support representative to file as a blocker on your behalf. Otherwise ask that it be considered for the next Red Hat Enterprise Linux release. ** Does /dev/mapper/mpathep1 even exist? Yes it does. I've experimented with this and discovered that if I have 4 SAN disks the install will succeed but the fifth will make it fail. mpathe is the 5th disk. Where are we on this one? Is it still happening as of snapshot 8? I'll try snap 8 tomorrow, 7/23. I Hit the bug on what will be snap-8 RHEL6.0-20100722.0. Can you attach /tmp/program.log as well?
