[Solved] Can't find sda2 at boot

Hi,
I've bought a new thinkpad, the same model I had before.
I tried to use the hdd from my old thinkpad, which was running archlinux as well.

When I boot now, I get into recovery shell:

:: running early hook [udev]
starting version 222
:: running hook [udev]
:: Triggering uevents...
Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/sda2 ...
ERROR: Unable to find root device '/dev/sda2' .
You are being dropped to a recovery shell...etc

What do I have to do to get it running?
I checked the fstab and the uuids are right.
I use gummiboot.

Thanks for your help!

Edit:
booting from archlinux disk, chrooting, mkinitcpio -p linux solved it.
