/sbin/new-kernel-pkg is a shell script. It is run from within the kernel
package scriptlets (via /bin/kernel-install). One part of it is:

    # get the root filesystem to use
    rootdevice=$(awk '{ if ($1 !~ /^[ \t]*#/ && $2 == "/") { print $1; }}' /etc/fstab 2>/dev/null)
    if [ "$rootdevice" = "" ];
    then
	    rootdevice=`grep -o -P "(?<=root=)\S+" /proc/cmdline`
    fi

It passes on this device to grubby.
A little bit of debugging might lead to something.
What is found in /etc/fstab and /proc/cmdline for your machine?
