When booting i get the following message
Booting the kernel.
:: Starting udevd
done.
udevd[37]: No such file or directory
:: Running Hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...done.
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/{id}...
ERROR: Unable to find root device '{id}'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
I'm not familiar with how the recovery shell works, or even where i am in the filesystem.
FIlesystem is 200mb ext2 boot, /root and /home are btrfs.
SOLVED: Had to boot into a live cd and reinstall the kernel.

Have you recently upgraded your kernel? Has the boot order in your bios changed? Did you try booting the fallback kernel image? I've never had this error happen to me before but it seems like your disk uuids are not correct.
Hopefully someone else will have better advice than me.

I belive i recently upgraded the kernel, fallback image gives the same error, I havn't touched bios.
I think it is a disk issue, either corruption, or change of uuid. If it is the latter i should be able to fix it by changing the fstab, but I cant find it in single user mode, looking /dev shows no disks ( no sdx's ). Can someone show me a good article on single user mode, or tell me where to look for fstab or my disks?

Sounds like you didn't build your kernel modules when you upgraded. Try booting from a livecd and reinstall the kernel

Same exact thing happened to me this morning...I had done a bunch of updates yesterday (probably a month or two worth), integrated all the pacnew changes, rebooted and had no issues. Today I ran updates again, there was a new kernel that installed, I rebooted and got the above error as well. No other changes were made in between. Haven't fixed it yet, but wanted to say that seniorsassycat is not alone in seeing this.

...and another person with the same thing happening: Unable to find root device - after updating

That was it, I booted up fine now.

So my issue was user error when I migrated the pacnew changes in mkinitcpio.conf...I had left out the lvm2 hook, so it couldn't find my root filesystem. As other people have said, I just used the Arch installation CD to rescue the system...the instructions you'll need are on the Wiki in case anyone else runs across this:

Please start a new thread. This is from 2012 and a lot has changed since then.
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.
