[Solved] Virtualbox + UEFI results in Unable to find root device.

I know its yet another one but i couldnt find a solution to all the other topics posted.

I installed based on the guide and end up with > http://i.imgur.com/AiMJiRR.png

blkid, fdisk -l, fstab , arch.conf > http://i.imgur.com/IBQ7yPG.png

Tried also with PARTUUID on the arch.conf and got the same result. Also moved around some HOOKS in mkinitcpio.conf and i get the same thing again.

Any ideas on how to proceed from here?

try options root=UUID=XXXX rw
UUID and PARTUUID are not the same thing
