[SOLVED] Failed to mount /sysroot

Hi everyone:

After looking for a long time, I can't find a solution to my problem. I'm new with arch. I'm triying to install it on Victus 016 - HP laptop. I follow the steps on the installation guide. In the partition disk step I make a diferent things. I create two partitions with fdisk, the first one is /boot, the second one I create an LVM with all the rest of the folders (swap, home and root). I install systemd-boot because grub doesnt work with me, I configure the arch.conf, loader.conf and mkinitcpi.conf. When I tryu to boot I get the message:

Error

[OK] Reached target Initrd Root Device.
Starting File System Check on /dev/nvme0n1p1
[OK] Finished File System Check on /dev/nvme0n1p1

See 'systemctl status sysroot.mount' for details.

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /sysroot

root=/dev/nvme0n1p1? That's not your root, though...

Re: [SOLVED] Failed to mount /sysroot

options root=/dev/nvme0n1p1

|-nvme0n1p1            259:1    0        1G    0    part    /boot

|-VGDisk0-root      254:1    0      100G    0    part    /

You're setting the boot partition as root partition.
