Hey there,
my system has 4 drives, 2 for storage and the other 2 have this layout;
ssd1: windows
ssd2: grub, arch, ubuntu
I can boot into every os just fine, but when I try to boot arch from windows with vmware workstation (which has access to the full ssd2) it can't find the root device.
grub boots it just fine, but i get always trown into the recovery shell and there are no drives available i.e. "ls /dev/sd*" return no such device.
Ubuntu boots up just fine.
So, what does arch do differently (and most importantly: how can i change it?) that it doesn't find its disk?
I hope this is the right sub.
EDIT: thanks for moving.

Not a Sysadmin issue, moving to Newbie Corner...

What Arch does is optimise your initrd, so it's tailor made for the hardware you're running. Try booting the fallback initrd - - this should work on any hardware.

Making lemonade from lemons since 2015.
