Title:
  ppc64el node maas install failing talking to mpath0

Status in multipath-tools package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm trying to install a PPC64EL node with Xenial via MAAS 1.9.2 using
  Juju 1.25.5 and it seems to be failing due to a possible multipath
  issue.  The node is setup in maas with a default single partition.
  The boot logs show:

    Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done.
    Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ...   lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit
      Volume group "mpath0" not found
      Cannot process volume group mpath0
    done.

  and then multiple repeats of:

    Begin: Waiting for root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ...   lvmetad is not active yet, using direct activation during sysinit
      Volume group "mpath0" not found
      Cannot process volume group mpath0
    done.

  To finally fail with:

    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!
    Rebooting automatically due to panic= boot argument

  $ dpkg-query -W maas
  maas	1.9.2+bzr4568-0ubuntu1~trusty1
  $ dpkg-query -W juju-core
  juju-core	1.25.5-0ubuntu1~14.04.2~juju1

  Kernel version booting on the PPC64EL node is Linux version
  4.4.0-21-generic.

  Please let me know what further information you require to debug this.

  Thanks,
  Brad
