Bug#646900: [multipath-tools] Errors when Boot On SAN (IBM DS4700)

Sorry for the delay, I'm not working on that system (but Frido that has
posted above does).

As I was suspecting, this is an issue with "something" (udev I guess)
poking the inactive path(s). Loading the kernel multipath driver makes
the kernel aware of the fact that the path is inactive.

I guess that Frido's script (or something similar) should be added in
the main multipath-tools package (and not only in the -boot variant).

What do you think?

Cheers
