[SOLVED] Unable to find root device - after change mainboard

After changing the motherboard can not boot. I get the message after GRUB menu:

ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID='e7a0e51a-2d54-4f4d-badd-6d1e04bc6032'
You are being dropped to a recovery shell

When in recovery shell I type blkid, a got nothing.



I run form "live usb linux" (TRK) and I run a few commands:

blkid

Try booting the fallback image.

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to find root device - after change mainboard

If that fails, boot to your live environment, chroot in, adjust /etc/fstab as needed, and regenerate both your kernel images and your grub.cfg.

AUR packages • Zsh and other configs

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to find root device - after change mainboard

Thank you very much for your help. Problem solved through a "fallback" and then "mkinitcpio" - as in the given link.
