Somehow when your recreate the partitions on the restored system, you have a new UUID, except that mondorestore does recreate the original UUID and forces that.

Humm, I've been testing with RHEL 6, 7 with initramfs without issues for years.
So there must be something else.

It may be one single command failing which creates the issue.

Please provide logs of backup and restore so that I can try to see what we could do.
