Problem here is multipath is not obtaining the paths' identifiers, thus 
blacklists them all.
I have a good idea of what's happening, from a bug fixed in Debian, probably 
pending backports to Ubuntu.

I'll check a few things in the LPAR yet.

Also noticed another problem: a broken shared library dependency. (similar 
story w/ Debian, IIUIC).
I'll open another bug.

The uuid (identifier) is null because of the shlib error (libgcc_s.so.1 not 
found)
when loading a path checker.

In libmultipath/discovery.c, pathinfo() will skip assigning an uuid 
if get_state() hits 'No checker (is) selected' (which happened; see message).

        get_state() {
                ...
                                condlog(3, "%s: No checker selected", pp->dev);
                                return PATH_UNCHECKED;
                ...
        }

        pathinfo() {
                ...
                                pp->chkrstate = pp->state = get_state(pp, 0);
                                if (pp->state == PATH_UNCHECKED ||
                                    pp->state == PATH_WILD)
                                        goto blank;
                ...
                        get_uid(pp);
                ...
                blank:
                ...
        }

There's no libgcc in the installer.

        ~ # find /lib/ -name '*gcc*'
        ~ # 

Tried overriding the path checker, but the setting is taken from the hardcoded 
value (hwentry),
and even changing the tur checker library for another one which don't depend on 
libgcc didn't work
 -- it seems the piece dependening on libgcc is required for the load 
operation, not a library.

Ubuntu actually does contain the fix for static libgcc from Debian [1], 
but it's not working on Ubuntu for some reason.

(In reply to comment #8)
> but it's not working on Ubuntu for some reason.

Or not working for specific files for some reason :)

The -static-libgcc parameter is correctly being carried over in the build, but 
libchecktur doesn't get it. 
And for some reason it's the only libcheck* that uses libgcc.

Checking all libs in multipath-udeb for libgcc:

        ~/mpathudeb$ find lib/ -name '*.so' -print -exec grep -H libgcc '{}' ';'
        lib/multipath/libpriordac.so
        lib/multipath/libpriodatacore.so
        lib/multipath/libcheckrdac.so
        lib/multipath/libcheckemc_clariion.so
        lib/multipath/libpriorandom.so
        lib/multipath/libprioontap.so
        lib/multipath/libprioconst.so
        lib/multipath/libcheckreadsector0.so
        lib/multipath/libcheckhp_sw.so
        lib/multipath/libpriohp_sw.so
        lib/multipath/libpriohds.so
        lib/multipath/libprioweightedpath.so
        lib/multipath/libcheckdirectio.so
        lib/multipath/libchecktur.so
        Binary file lib/multipath/libchecktur.so matches
        lib/multipath/libcheckcciss_tur.so
        lib/multipath/libprioiet.so
        lib/multipath/libprioalua.so
        lib/multipath/libprioemc.so

Checking the build log [1] for -static-libgcc (in there).
Maybe it's also required in the last cc command as well.
