I have installed Arch in a partition adjacent to windows and configure the system to dual boot. When running windows I want to run the Arch installed on the other partition as a VM. I have created the VMWare VM with the physical partition containing Arch and booted it.
During the "/" mount "Unknow UUID xxxx-xxxx" error is displayed and gets into some basic prompt.
But when booted with "fallback initramfs", File system starts well without any error.
How can I seamlessly boot a physical arch installation as a VM?
Thank you!

Please post output of blkid and your fstab first of all.

When booted the VM with "fallback initramfs" blkid is same as fstab. The basic prompt during normal boot of VM gives out nothing upon blkid.

If the fallback initramfs works, then it is due to a difference in your actual hardware and your virtual hardware. Either adjust your virtual machine to match, or rebuild a new initramfs for the virtual machine (or just use the fallback by default for the VM).
