Can't boot standard Arch Kernel (root btrfs partition)

For a long time I using linux-mainline from AUR. Unfortunately Docker don't work on it. I tried to boot standard Arch kernel 3.17 from testing but i have got:
:: running early hook [udev]
Warning: /lib/modules/3.17.0-1-ARCH/modules.devname not found - ignoring
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents..
Scanning for Btrfs filesystems
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/(uuid)
ERROR: device 'UUID=(uuid)' not found. Skipping
ERROR: Unable to find root device  'UUID=(uuid)' .

I am using  rEFInd to boot. This is config file of kernel:

"Boot with defaults"    "root=UUID=3c5d33c2-1d2f-4c57-b226-ad7ecc51be00 rootfstype=btrfs rw"
"Boot to text mode"      "root=UUID=3c5d33c2-1d2f-4c57-b226-ad7ecc51be00 rootfstype=btrfs rw systemd.unit=multi-user.target"

I tied to downgrade kernel to last stable version but it not helped.

How did you install the kernel from testing?  Did you convert everything to testing versions (i.e. did you add the testing repo and `pacman -Syu`)?

I uncommented the testing repo and pacman -Syu. i tried downgrade to standard repo but it did not help. I have not used standard kernel for more then half year.

Are you loading the correct initramfs?

I had bug in my mkinitcpio hook and it was not copy initramfs. Thank you, problem solved.
