== Comment: #0 - MANAS K. NAYAK <maknayak.com> - 2012-05-31 09:54:48 ==
While installing on multipath disk with F17 PPC64 prega3 , after reboot it got dropped to grub> prompt.
Installed system had f17 prega3 ppc64 placed on sda(native disk) and again f17 prega3 ppc64 got installed on multipath disk.

Note that at the last stage of installation on multipath disk it threw message saying " there is some error occurred during on installation , your system may not boot properly " .

--- Steps to reproduce ---
This system has one native disk (sda) and four multipath disks attached.

step1) Install f17 prega3 ppc64 on sda (native disk) successfully
step2) Install f17 prega3 ppc64 on one of the multipath disk 
step3) After installation on multipath disk , selected booted with the installed multipath disk from SMS menu, which dropped me to the grub> prompt as below:

Verfied with multipath diks installation, this issue is no more getting produced with fedroa 18 ppc64 Beta .
I think this is fixed in beta now. We can close it.
