I saw similar behaviour with my build. I've built latest blfs-7.4 and
booting it from USB disk with UUID tag for rootfs. The trick is to
install initramfs as it was described in the book and fix (!) fstab.
Just in case:
--------- grub.cfg -----------------
set default=0
set timeout=3
insmod ext2
set root=(hd0,1)
menuentry "LFS 7.4 Kernel 3.10.10" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.10.10
root=UUID=3d78d00e-9eea-4c0e-8100-7f9ee77ea582 rootfstype=ext4 ro
rootdelay=6
initrd /boot/initrd.img-3.10.10
}
------------ fstab --------------
UUID=3d78d00e-9eea-4c0e-8100-7f9ee77ea582 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
proc /proc proc nosuid,noexec,nodev 0 0
....
-----------------------------------
Hope it helps.
Cheers,
