  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)
  ALERT!  /dev/mapper/mpath0-part2 does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!
