What's a LABEL or PARTLABEL or UUID for if the kernel doesn't understand it?
As I wrote, they are meant for use by an initramfs.
Without an initramfs, the kernel must mount the root filesystem by itself.
With an initramfs, the kernel mounts the

Hi Pascal,
Thanks for your clear explanation. Finally makes sense to me.
One more question. Initrd is what actually reads and executes grub and
