Hi!
I installed arch on a macbook pro 7.1. I'm using grub2. (using an ext2 partition with the bios_grub flag on)
I can boot the fallback kernel succesfully, but, when I select the normal boot option in grub, I get
Root device /dev/disk/by_uuid/<long string here> doesn't exist.
Unable to determine major/minor number of root device "/dev/disk/by_uuid/<again that long string>".
Then I'm dropped to the recovery shell.
Does anyone know what could possibly generate this kind of error?

I just tried something that might shed some light on what's going on. I edited the normal kernel entry for grub to use kernel26-fallback.img instead of kernel26.img, and booted succesfully, so it seems is purely a kernel issue. (something missing from the regular kernel?)
any ideas?

This might help :
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26

This might help :
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
indeed! BUT, I had to remove the autodetect HOOK from mkinitcpio.conf.
Now it works as a charm.
Thanks a lot!

Mmm.. how do I set this thread as SOLVED?
Nevermind! Already done it
