I have n= o idea what your problem can be. But as a friendly reminder, your setup (&q= uot;/usr under / and no initrd") hasn't been supported since at le= ast a year and a half. From [1]:

It is of course possible that your problem has= nothing to do with not using an initramfs. Then again, *IT IS* also possib= le that you NEED an initramfs, and that's one of the many reasons the c= ouncil decided to stop supporting such a configuration.
