Thanks for reporting this bug.
mountkernfs should not be a problem, here is its description:
# Short-Description: Mount kernel virtual file systems.
# Description: Mount initial set of virtual filesystems the kernel
# provides and that are required by everything.
I'll mark this as affecting initscripts, which provides mountkernfs,
because I don't know what to look for to determine why mountkernfs
would not be provided.
