Move to ssd, boot problem

Greetings everybody...
I moved my arch in a new ssd with rsync. All fine, it boots only by pressing F12 and choosing the new ssd.
When I boot with hdd, grub sees the new partition but I have kernel panic "unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0). How can I fix this?
PS: I have dual Windows 10 and Arch in hdd with UEFI...

Thanks in advance.

Update your fstab if using uuid definitions there.  Also update your bootloader config file for the same reason.

Re: Move to ssd, boot problem

I 've done all these... I think they are ok. I assume the problem is that I have no efi partition in ssd. Can I create now or it will mess up all things ? Is it better to do it from scratch?

Re: Move to ssd, boot problem

I believe specs are that this is the first partition on the disk, it is fat32, and 512M in size.  Can you insert this into your current partition scheme after copying away the contents of the current first partition?  Should be pretty straight forward.

I already have an sda2 (fat32) 200M. Is it ok?

Re: Move to ssd, boot problem

Read the GRUB wiki page, in particular the UEFI subsection here .

No changes occur due to having an SSD. The size of your partition is fine, the requirment is around 100mb but I err on the safe side and go with 230, but I have never seen it go above a 100mb.
