[SOLVED] System won't boot

I installed Windows 10 on my new SSD and then copied the Linux partition over to the SSD from my old HDD. Then I reinstalled grub. At first everything was running fine. Then I started a bunch of Windows updates. The second time they failed. I wanted to boot into Linux and got messages like

A start job ist running for UUID... (was the efi partition)
Dependency failed for that UUID 
Dependency failed for local file systems

I searched online and found that the error was due to on update not being completed, so I booted a live CD chrooted and updated. Then built the kernel via mkninitcpio -p and updated grub, as mentioned. It didn't work. Then I thought maybe the system was missing the swap partition, that I didn't copy over since I think it is unnecessary with an SSD. It didn't solve it either. Then I generated a new fstab and uncommented the first UUID lines. Now the error related to the efi partition is gone, but it say

Failed to mount /etc/resolv.conf
Dependency failed for local filesystem

Please post your /etc/fstab.

I already solved it. I think the UUID of the EFI partition changed after I switched to the SSD. Then the generated fstab contained mount commands for VAR and resolv.conf, which were unnecessary.
