I recently bought a new computer and an SSD. I want to clone my current install of arch to this new SSD to boot in the new computer. The new computer does have a more recent processor, but they are both intel.
I have:
created a main partition and a swap partition on the SSD
copied the files from my current main partition to the SSD partition using rsync
re-generated fstab
re-installed grub
re-created grub config file
After all of this, I was met with this upon boot:
Starting version 244.1-1-arch
ERROR: device 'UUID=<SSD main partition uuid>' not found. Skipping fsck.
mount: /new_root: can't find UUID=<SSD main partition uuid>.
You are now being dropped into an emergency shell.
sh: can't access tyy; job control turned off
[rootfs ]#I can't type at this prompt.
I checked my fstab and grub.cfg files, and both contain UUIDs that match the UUID shown in this error. I can manually check the partition UUID by mounting the SSD on my current machine, and the UUID matches the error message and the files.
After researching for a long time, I've only seen a few other issues like this. One of them had to do with the systemd-240 bug, but I don't have that version (obviously, that was years ago).
Another possible solution someone posted was installing the microcode package. On my current machine I do not have them installed, so I arch-chrooted into the SSD and installed the intel-ucode package, and re-generated the grub config file. This did not solve my problem.
I'm at a loss and out of ideas. I'd really appreciate any input. Thanks!

Ah. Solved. I read the second post down on the forum and found that I should execute
mkinitcpio -p linuxwhich solved my problem.
