As I said, the clone as been created from another distribution
the cp -a /boot_cloned and /boot_clone (when partition not active).
I created a new initramfs, but as I said the problem seem to appear before
the:
linux   /vmlinuz-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE root=/dev/mapper/VolGrpSys3-root ro vconsole.keymap=fr rd.dm=0  rd.md=0 rd.luks=0 vconsole.font=latarcyrheb-sun16 rd.lvm.lv=VolGrpSys3/root
initrd  /initramfs-3.12.5-200.fc19.i686.PAE.img

I am saying so because, if replace the clone by the cloned partition, I get the same
errors.
In my opnion, the error is here:
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos16 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos16 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos16 --hint='hd0,msdos16'  c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b
  else
    search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b
  fi
or earlier!!

Please note that /dev/sda16 and UUID=c2010fed-5fcf-4c59-bca9-10922b131d8b are the
same partition

I don't follow this. You used cp /dev/sda /dev/sdb? Device to device? Or you specified directories to copy? I've had cp -a of directories not work, in particular it misses hidden files unless you explicitly copy them. I've had better luck with rsync. And I've had impressively good luck with btrfs send/receive, that's a cake walk, and fast.
