does every time boot fail can trigger WANRING in device_add_disk ?

Not that I see. But the message could scroll off the screen. The boot gets far enough that systemd copies over dmesg output to permanent storage that I can see on my next successful boot. That's where I looked for the warning output you want. I never saw it for any kernels I compiled myself. Only when I test kernels built by Fedora do I see it.

I just tried booting to single user and the boot still hangs.

When I build the kernels, the compiler options are probably a bit different than when Fedora does. That might affect what happens during boot.
