Henrique, Thanks a lot for your prompt reply.
I installed the latest (3.20160316.1) and now the problem is not seen. To confirm, I switched a couple of times between 2.20160316.1 and 3.20160316.1 both amd64/i386, rebooted after each time. I am not seeing the problem. There might have been some issue during the initrd of the original time when I saw the problem. As, I could not reproduce, please close the bug.
