I don't know, what the proble, but the fstab workaround functioniert:
form:
/dev/sda3 / xfs defaults 0 1
to:
UUID=7c167a53-30ff-4d47-a206-ce8caf2397ba / xfs
defaults 0 1

in this fix switched form device name to UUID based fstab.

the uuid-s queried with /lib/udev/vol_id program

/*sorry for bad english*/
