I have read bug 
	#917607: udev240 makes system unbootable; rootfs not found
Because my working and failing initrd files contain different udev versions, the failing one udev240, it may be possible, that this is the cause of failed boot.
Bug #917607 description sounds very similar to behaviour of this bug.
