Interesting data point. The failure is on a rhel7/grub2 root.
The identical kernel on a rhel6/grub root boots. So maybe
grub2 brings out the failure? I suspect Fedora19/grub2 on
EFI should hit the problem (for someone looking to reproduce
it).
In both cases the kernel boot line options are the same.
