[SOLVED]Moving from one computer to another

HI! I installed archlinux on external hard disk. I run arch from different computers, and if I succeful run on old computers (lga775), I can't to run on new computers (lga1155). I see error "device... UUID... not found" and rootfs shell.
if I try again to run on old computer - arch starts.
after from livecd "mkinitcpio -p linux" in new computer, arch starts, but doesn't start in old computer (similar error).
how to solve this problem without livecd?

mkinitcpio creates 2 images :
1 tailored to the computer it's run on, initramfs-linux.img .
the other one ( initramfs-linux-fallback.img ) is intended to boot on as many computers as possible.

Try booting the fallback image on both systems.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
