Public bug reported: 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.
