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.
