Bug Description

Hello! Have a server under VMWare virtualisation in cloudatcost.com, Canada. After updating to last 3.13 kernel (previously i have updated raring to trusty) i have a bug:

Root device dnt exist after loading initram - updating to linux-image-3.13.0-15-generic invoking that problem.
I have now two kernels in system: 3.8 and 3.13.0-15. First 3.8 loading success, but 3.13.0-15 now have a problem with llvm and udev - root device do not exists and i have BusyBox shell such as:

ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/[MYUDIDNUMBER] does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox

Before 3.13.0-15 i have also 3.13 kernel, but older and loading was succes without any warning or errors. Now i using 3.8 raring kernel on that server. 3.8 and 3.13 have a same grub config with same UDDID's, but 3.13.0-15 have the issue with this problem.
