[SOLVED] unable to find root device

Hello,

after some updates (several updates), now my arch system doesn't boot. This is the output during the boot:

ERROR: device 'UUID=***' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=***'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
         Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off

I try to modify /etc/fstab from UUID to label, but nothing.

Help me sad


Thank you.
Riccardo

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

Not an Installation issue, and no helpful details like your pacman log...

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

So you ran:

[2013-06-04 19:49] [PACMAN] Running 'pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem'

After we explicitly stated:

pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem,bash

Which lead to...

On www.archlinux.it I did not find to exclude filesystem and bash. How can I solve now?

You need to chroot into the system and rebuild your initcpio (mkinitcpio -p linux)

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

Hi,

I am currently having the same issue as Riccardo. I did the same mistake forgetting to ignore bash.
I am trying to solve the problem by running mkinitcpio -p linux after chroot into the system but there is no /boot/vmlinuz-linux image.

mkinitcpio -p linux

==> buiding image from present: default
-k /boot/vwlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img
==>Error:specified kernel image does not exist: /boot/vmlinuz/-linux
==>building image from present: fallback
-> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux-fallback.img -S autodetect
==> Error:specified kernel image does no exist:/boot/vmlinuz-linux

Anyone having an idea how to fix the initcpio?

The error seems pretty obvious -- you're missing /boot/vmlinuz-linux, which is your kernel.

Zild, sounds like you forgot to mount /boot

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

Hello,
after 

pacman -Syu --ignore filesystem

I've got 2 errors:

/usr/bin: no such file or directory

second after reboot:

ERROR: device 'UUID=***' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=***'.

After chroot and

mkinitcpio -p linux

I've got:

/usr/bin: no such file...

I have two partitions / and /home

Could anyone help me ?

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

it's claiming /usr/bin doesn't exist? Are you sure it's not complaining about /bin or /usr/sbin?

mount the drive and take a look, /bin, /sbin, and /usr/sbin should all be symlinks to /usr/bin, and all of your programs should be in /usr/bin.

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

I've tried to repair it, but I failed.

Right now i can't go into chroot

chroot /mnt/arch /usr/bin/bash
chroot: failed to run command /usr/bin/bash: No such file or directory

I've red that, I should use pacstrap to repair chroot, but I have no idea how to do that.

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

You need to give us some information. What exactly have you done (specific commands)?

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

I have also had success with this method. I'll clarify what I did in case it might help people who are even newbier than I am.

I used a LiveCD for this. I had a GParted Live CD hanging around, so I used that, but I imagine that any LiveCD that will get you a root terminal will do. You might have to make a LiveCD on another computer if you no longer have one that works.

Once in the terminal you can follow Scimmia's instruction: "You need to chroot into the system and rebuild your initcpio (mkinitcpio -p linux)" The instructions for how to chroot into the Arch system are here: Arch Wiki - Change Root.

My hard drive is partitioned as follows: /dev/sda1 is the boot partition, /dev/sda3 is the root partition, and /dev/sda4 is the home partition. I mounted these as instructed on the Change Root ArchWiki page. I then mounted the temporary file systems as instructed. I skipped the internet connection command, as no internet connection is necessary for this, and I went right for the chroot command.

# chroot /mnt/arch /usr/bin/bash

I then issued Scimmia's command:

# mkinitcpio -p linux

This returned for me the same error that Zlid had mentioned: "Error:specified kernel image does no exist:/boot/vmlinuz-linux" I checked on my /boot directory and found it to be empty. My chrooted Arch system evidently did not recognize my earlier mount of /dev/sda1. The simple solution was to mount my boot partition again, within the chrooted system, as Simmia suggested:

# mount /dev/sda1 /boot

I ran the command again:

# mkinitcpio -p linux

The command worked for me this time. The process warned of some "deprecated hooks". If you see this, you might want to use nano to edit the list of hooks in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf as instructed and then run the mkinitcpio command again, but I think that is optional, as the process seemed to substitute the updated hooks on its own.

This worked for me. No more tears! I hope it works for you. Thanks to Scimmia for the help.

Re: [SOLVED] unable to find root device

Hi,

I think I have the same problem. First I only had grub command line. After I reinstalled grub I am getting: 

Unable to find root device UUID=(...)
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
   Type 'exit' to try and continue booting

I managed to chroot into the system and run 

mkinitcpio -p linux

As it is mantioned above. This went fine but did not managet to fix the problem. What could I do more? Please help.
