Well, the boot device isn't there.
There's sda1 & sda2, neither have the UUID configured in your bootloader.

Is sda the desired external SSD?

sda is not the external SSD, its my internal SSD. External SSD is the one the mount cant find, with the said uuid. But i am in fact booting the system from SSD already...

In that case I'd assume that you're missing the usb(?) drivers in your initramfs - can you boot the fallback image?
