Yes, but thar's the rub! If I can't boot, I can't access a console,
but only the (initramfs) prompt. That utility does not know the
command blkid. 

When I do (initramfs) cat /proc/cmdline, I see the same disk UUID as
that being used by GRUB2. Does this mean anything? 

Incidentally, setting rootdelay=15 for the kernel didn't help.
