I've run into, once or twice (too random to file a bug about it), a
similar issue where I was able to fix it by changing root=<UUID> to
root=/dev/<sdXx> in the kernel line. 

Perhaps it might be worthwhile changing the grub timeout to 3 or so,
removing rhgb quiet from the kernel line, and booting into runlevel
3 to see if there's more information about why it's failing.
