Since backporting the product_blacklist changes to RHEL4 was too
invasive, RHEL4 has it's own method of blacklisting certain products.
It works largely the same as product_blacklist.  Here is the
documentation from
/usr/shar/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5/multipath.conf.annotated

#
# name    : bl_product
# scope   : multipath & multipathd
# desc    : a regular expression used to blacklist devices
#           by vendor/product. NOTE For a device to get
#           blacklisted, the vendor, product, and bl_product
#           strings must all match, not just the vendor and
#           bl_product strings as in the upstream version.
# default : (null)

Also, have you tried not including a devices section, and simply using
the compiled in default?

What version of the device-mapper-multipath package are you using?

Thanks.
