Seems like the LVM package still doestn't have proper udev rules to
export the UUID in the initrd or it just was created with an older
version which doestn't have yet this feature.
As workaround you can set GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
in /etc/default/grub and then run update-grub again, so that UUIDs won't
be used for the root= kernel parameter.
