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.
Adding 'nompath' fixes the initial traceback.
Should be fixed with python-pyblock-0.24-1 and anaconda-11.1.0.103-1 .
I haven't seen this problem recently, closing.
