If there is no valid initrd, but root=UUID or root=LABEL is used
in the command line, boot hangs like this:

In the above log, the sectors are not consistent with the output
of fdisk command, fix it.

It is however consistent with the output of /proc/partitions.
root=UUID or root=LABEL is not supported without initrd.
It is better to update description of root= to explicitly
tell the users.
