I've installed base system with pacman, enabled usb hook in mkinitcpio, and installed grub.
It boots, but then the error "Root device /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxxx doesn't exist" appears. UUID is correct, I've double checked.
Any ideas?..

Recheck your grub settings....

Here how it looks (menu.lst on external flash drive)
title Arch Linux [/boot/vmlinuz26]
root (hd1,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/867695ca-dffa-49f8-b801-5b6108a50335 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
I guess external drive should be detected as hd1 (hd0 is internal).
867695ca-dffa-49f8-b801-5b6108a50335 is a UUID of flash drive.
Everything seems to be OK.

Try adding rootdelay=10 to kernel parameter.

Try changing to root=UUID=867695ca-dffa-49f8-b801-5b6108a50335 instead of root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/.........
And you might try hd(0,0) as well.....can't quite remember if I had to change that too...
