As the ramdisk image does not contain the blkid program, the kernel cannot mount the root partition by-label. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. In Grub's menu.lst configure the kernel to mount the root by label (e.g. 'root=/dev/disk/by-label/Root'). 2. Reboot. 3. During start-up press [F5] and select SystemD. (This will re-init /dev/disk/by-label/ .) 4. The kernel fails to mount the root partition and you end-up with a prompt in a ramdisk image. Actual Results: Kernel cannot initialize /dev/disk/by-label/, because the blkid program is missing from the start-up ramdisk image. The ramdisk image has several links in /bin/ and /sbin/ to non-existent programs in /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/ respectively.
