** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: multipath-tools
  
  95-kpartx.rules calls modprobe(8) with the invalid -Q argument. I'm
  guessing it wants -q, for quiet?

  # Always attempt to load dm-multipath. This way we can get rid of the
  # init script.

+ 
+ SRU Justification:
+ 1. Impact: multipath fails because modprobe doesn't load the needed modules
+ 2. How bug addressed: the udev rule calling multipath is fixed to not use a 
wrong argument
+ 3. Patch: see comment #3
+ 4. Test case: dont' have dm-multipath in /etc/modules.  95-kpartx.rules won't 
load it.
+ 5. Regression potential: none.
