"unable to find root device" error with linux-lts

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with booting linux-lts after a recent upgrade (3.14.39-1 -> 3.14.43-2). In particular, I get an "unable to find root device" error.

I have look at other threads for potential solutions; I have tried a) re-installing linux-lts, b) adding 'block' before 'autodetect' in mkinitcpio.conf before the re-installation, and c) changing /dev/sdb4 (my root partition) in syslinux.cfg to UUID and PARTUUID. I still get the same error.

In the emergency shell, running 'blkid' does not show the root partition in the output.

If I boot from the latest kernel (4.0.4-2), it all boots fine.

Does anybody have any ideas on anything I could try to get linux-lts to boot? I'd prefer to stay with the lts kernel if possible.
