RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
We have a LSI RDAC SAS storage and a server to boot from it. There is a limitation for the array. A target can only be accessed by a single
initiator at a time. So always half paths can not be accessed by the server.
When tried to install RHEL 7.0 to the LSI Lun, the dracut drop to the shell after finding some paths are not readable. But for RHEL 6.4 the dracut handled this well and the OS can be installed successfully.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.0-20130120.0 Server x86_64
dracut-024-18.git20130102.el7.x86_64.rpm
device-mapper-multipath-0.4.9-42.el7.x86_64.rpm

dracut-initqueue[378]: Warning: Could not boot.
Please boot with "log_buf_len=10M loglevel=7 systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg rd.debug" added to the kernel command line and show me the output!
Also give me more information about the disk layout or at least the disk configuration and the current kernel command line used.

I have checked the installation without the storage array attached. still failed, so i guess if it's the beaker issue. I have asked the beaker team to check the PXE conf. so close this bug.
