Title:
  installing multipath-tools 0.5.0 on trusty leaves the system unable to
  boot

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in multipath-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In order to test the fix for bug #1468897 on trusty on a POWER8 system
  (PowerNV mode), Mike installed the multipath-tools package from wily.
  This results in a system that fails to boot, dropping to the
  initramfs.  The reproducible failure is:

  Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done.
  Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... Begin: Loading multipath modules ... Success: loaded module dm-multipath.
  Failure: failed to load module dm-emc.
  done.
  Begin: Discovering multipaths ... done.
  done.
  Gave up waiting for root device.  Common problems:
   - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
     - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
     - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
   - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
  ALERT!  /dev/mapper/mpath0-part2 does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!
