I'm working on curtin support for multipath, and after a very long set of things, I believe I'm down to this bug, and are seeing it reproducibly using trusty+hwe-v on ppc64el (note, I've never seen it in trusty+hwe-u).

I believe that your re-setting of ROOT= guarantees failure of boot if you install multipath-tools-boot on a system that does not have multipath. That seems less than ideal. It basically changes "can" to "will" in bug 1463046 .

We are currently working around bug 1432062 by using user_friendly_names.
