Bug#661597: multipath-tools-boot: modprobe --syslog fails

Package: multipath-tools-boot
Version: 0.4.9-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/multipath which gets included into the initrd invokes modprobe 
with the parameter "--syslog" which fails during wheezy initrd phase. Maybe busybox modprobe does not include this option yet?

In any case, this parameter interrupts the bootprocess on my machine, i have to manually modprobe dm-multipath to boot.

Regards,

Martin Sofaru
