I've looked into this issue and identified the root cause to be a missing assignment of the rootuuid variable. This is only gummiboot bootloader.
Comment 2 Mei Yeen Ng 2015-11-23 11:33:57 UTC 
Implemented a fix and tested working on Intel Atom platform with gummiboot.
Will test fix on 2 platforms and hopefully getting the fix upstreamed
