System fails to boot by uuid after hardware change
Hi guys
After a cpu + motherboard upgrade, my system fails to boot by uuid.
Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done.
Booting the kernel.
:: Starting udevd...
done.
:: Running Hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...[ 1.342055] xhci_hcd 0000:05:00.0: Failed to enable MSI-X
[ 1.354970] xhci_hcd 0000:06:00.0: Failed to enable MSI-X
done.
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/8999170f-60e5,4dc5-bc06-4577badb3249 ...
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/8999170f-60e5,4dc5-bc06-4577badb3249'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
...Disabling USB3.0 gets rid of the xhci_hcd errors, but it still fails to find my disk by uuid. If I tell grub to boot from /dev/sda1, the system starts fine. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: System fails to boot by uuid after hardware change
You probably need additional support in your initramfs. Try the procedure outlined here.

Re: System fails to boot by uuid after hardware change
Thank you, but I'm afraid that did not work. I can chroot and mkinitcpio -p linux without a problem, but it still fails to boot with the exact same message.

Just use /dev/sda1 instead, I don't think uuid really saves anything.
I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

Re: System fails to boot by uuid after hardware change
Are you 100% sure that uuid is correct? Never seen one with a comma in it.
PS: does it boot succesfully when you use the id or path reference to the partition (I can understand not wanting to use /dev/sda1)?

Re: System fails to boot by uuid after hardware change
Yes, UUID is correct. I also don't get why there is a comma displayed, it's written with a dash in menu.lst as well as under /dev/disk/by-uuid/
Just tested by-label, it boots just fine.

Re: System fails to boot by uuid after hardware change
Did you check that it is indeed a dash if you manually edit the kernel line via the grub menu?
