[SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
So i got a new nvme ssd and cloned my old ssd to it.
First i grub didnt show up so i booted from an usb with arch iso and did:
mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 /mnt
arch-chroot /mnt
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
grub-install /dev/nvme0n1p5Now grub works fine it seems but when i boot arch i see this:
(no idea how to get those logs widout / mounted so i took a picture)

I booted a ubuntu bootable usb to check if the UUIDS in my fstab are right but it seems they are.
this is my fdisk -l:

mkinitcpio.conf:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="nvme"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
Did you create the fstab using the ubuntu information or using genfstab from the arch installation medium?

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
I only changed the UUID of the swap and / with the info ubuntu provided.
I did use genfstab when i installed arch a few months back.
I added
#/dev/sdb3 /home/philip/vmwware ntfs-3g rw,permissions,auto 0 0
#share map
UUID=6C85B34F1D4D6C77 /home/philip/vmwware ntfs-3g rw,permissions,auto 0 0
#flipnet1 muziek
//192.168.1.3/Music /home/philip/flipnet1/music cifs credentials=/etc/samba/user,noexec 0 0
UUID=9C75-6EA4 /boot/efi vfat defaults 0 1myself later.

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
check that against the UUIDs genfstab creates (or just look them up from the installation medium)

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
When you are dropped to a rescue shell does /dev/nvme0n1p5 exist and can you run blkid then?

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
Usually I prefer to use 'lsblk -o +uuid', I find it easier to see the info I need but blkid is fine too, just make sure you run it as root and maybe use 'blkid -c /dev/null' to make sure blkid is not reading from some stale cache file.

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
Try the failsafe image, also compare the outputs of "lsmod" on working and non-working systems.

Whats a failsafe image?
Should i chroot into my not working arch and do lsmod and then compare it to for examble the lsmod of my ubuntu usb?

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
if you mean with failsafe the one under advanced options with (fallback initramfs) that one works.

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
That's what I meant and this means you lack a module in the "normal" image.
You need to compare the lsmod of the rescue shell with a functional boot to understand which module makes the difference (and notably whether nvme is available)

Here is the lsmod from my not working arch.
I will be posting the lsmod from the working fallback initramfs in a minute.

serio 20480 4 serio_raw,atkbd,i8042What i noticed is that the normal arch image doesnt load ''nvme'' and ''nvme_core''
On the wiki i read that you somethimes need to put a module in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf i already did that.
So i put nvme_core also in it like this:
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="nvme nvme_core"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
#
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
#
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
#
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
#
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
#
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4" It doesnt work.

Re: [SOLVED] arch cant find my root partition and wont boot
Did you rebuild the initrd after changing /etc/mkinitcpio.conf?
