Error logs:
----------

This error log is seen in the installer, and multipath devices are not
created for such storage system:

And after installing the system in an individual/single path device,
and trying to switch to multipath via multipath-tools-boot, it also
happens in the initramfs:

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)
