Error: Waiting for /dev/sda1 for 10 seconds...

Hi,

I upgraded this morning to the following:
- mkinitcpio 0.13.0-1
- linux-lts 3.0.67-1

Now the server won't reboot, it always says "Waiting for /dev/sda1 for 10 seconds..." in the initramfs shell.

Indeed there is no /dev/sd* in /dev, or even /dev/disk-by* to try and boot using the UUID.

Since it's a remote server, it's hard to debug. Hopefully no critical service is running on it.

The default linux 3.7.9-2 gives the same error.

I managed to get it back on line using the fallback initrd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … onger_boot

I also tried to reinstall udev,linux-lts, systemd and mkinitcpio as advised but the /dev/sda1 error was still there.

My mkinitcpio.conf:

MODULES=""
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
# no compression

Nothing fancy, no RAID, no LVM, not even /boot on a separate partition:

- /dev/sda1 on /
- /dev/sda2 on /home
- /dev/sda3 as swap

For the rest, the system is up to date, no dandling *.pacnew, I never forced any package installation.

I didn't find a similar problem here or using Google.

The topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=158300 is not the same problem and it didn't help me.

I have two simple questions:
- what happened?
- how can I know it will be safe again to reboot using the regular initrd image?

Thanks for any clue.
