OK.

Correct.

Was the error the same?  I.e., disk with uuid not found, or did it change to 
path-to-disk not found?

That's current.

I cannot reproduce it.

Depending on what you've done, this can happen.  It seems that any swap space 
you have defined is going to be activated in the grub2 initrd phase.  I'm 
guessing this is because dracut wants to make sure that if you've done a 
suspend that it will be able to do a resume, so it needs to have all the swap 
space available when the kernel checks for that.  Also, /usr needs to be 
available during the initrd phase, since so much of the basic system has been 
moved there.

But, I'm not sure that's what you're seeing.  Even in prior versions, if an 
entry in /etc/fstab cannot be mounted, you would get thrown into maintenance 
mode.  It didn't matter if it was marked as "0 0" or not.  That only controlled 
fsck calls.

If what you're seeing looks like this (a lot of these actually):
A start job is running for dev-disk-by\x2dpath-ccw\x...38s / 1min 30s)

Followed by:
[ [1;33mDEPEND [0m] Dependency failed for /testing.   
[ [1;33mDEPEND [0m] Dependency failed for Local File Systems.   
[ [1;33mDEPEND [0m] Dependency failed for Postfix Mail Transport Agent.   
systemd-journald[378]: Received request to flush runtime journal from PID 1 
Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view 
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" to try again 
to boot into default mode. 
Give root password for maintenance  

Then that's the same result you would have had with SLES11, just looking very 
different from before.  (And having to wait 90 seconds to be able to do 
anything about it.)

What happens if you disable the cio_ignore piece completely?  Does that make a 
difference?  Either way, send me your z/VM console logs and a supportconfig 
offline.  I'll see what I can figure out.
