ERROR: Device UUID=</ the root partition> not found after installation

Here is the error message after Arch installation.

https://i.postimg.cc/4xSCZ1F5/IMG-20200721-101114.jpg

I first got this similar error on kernel parameter "resume=UUID=..." of swap partition, and the root partition after "pacman -Syu" upgrade in Manjaro system.

I in the energency shell, I execute command "cat /etc/fstab", it's empty. Then I boot Manjaro Live USB stick. I check this fstab file, It's original file. weird here.

Then I searched this error, some answer said this is because of partition changed UUID, so I did re-generate fstab again, but the UUID in new fstab still same. Reboot to system, still same error.

Then I try to re-install system with Manjaro live USB stick, after installation, still got similar error.

Then I try to re-install system with Arch official ISO, still got same error....

OMG, what a weird problem.

BTW, I also recorded down my Arch ISO installation steps on paper. I uploaded those images online if you want to watch.

This is going to be really tedious if you keep posting pictures.

Not to mention ignoring certain information requests.

sorry about posting images. Because I can't connect netwrok with iwctl in arch-chroot. So can't use pipeline to paste output. It's in a MacBook Pro computer which has this problem, I have to use camera to record the error then post on this forum from another deaktop PC computer.

Which file do you mean for bootloader config? Grub /etc/default/grub? Or /boot/grub/grub.cfg?
