[SOLVED]device PPARTUUID=... not found

Hi

I reinstalled the Arch using iso image from usb stick. After installing the gummiboot I had this problem stuck. So I tried different bootloader - rEFInd. After rebooting I get the standard promt. Choosing "Boot vmlinuz-linux from 510 MiB FAT volume" - the big sitting penguin icon take me to the screen:

:: running early hook [udev]
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-partuuid/a9c4234c-c661-4bf9-a37e-17065c7beca5 ...
ERROR: device 'PARTUUID=a9c4234c-c661-4bf9-a37e-17065c7beca5' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'PARTUUID=a9c4234c-c661-4bf9-a37e-17065c7beca5'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
...

I copied that number from the fstab to the /boot/EFI/refind/refind.conf and the refind.conf file looks like this:

"Boot with defaults" "root=PARTUUID=a9c4234c-c661-4bf9-a37e-17065c7beca5 rw rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap systemd.unit=graphical.target"
"Boot to Terminal"   "root=PARTUUID=a9c4234c-c661-4bf9-a37e-17065c7beca5 rw rootfstype=ext4 add_efi_memmap systemd.unit=multi-user.target"

There is also some thing strange happening - after booting from the usb stick some times the usb is in /dev/sda and some times it in /dev/sdb.
So in the first time I mount the /dev/sdbX as my root partition. But after rebooting if the usb is /dev/sdb so I mount the /dev/sdaX as my root.
Also I have UEFI motherboard.
I think that maybe in both bootloaders there was the same problem, the PARTUUID number.

Thank god to this thread Fresh ...

Use `blkid` to get the UUID of the drive and add it to your fstab when you remove the duplicate. Reboot and profit.
