[SOLVED] Receiving ERROR: device "/dev/sdb3" not found, skipping fsck

Hello all,

I'm fairly new to Linux as a whole and am running into an issue. I was already running linux mint on the same drive and decided to add another partition for Arch. I followed all the installation steps and everything seemed to run smoothly. I updated GRUB and the OS prober found it and added a menu entry.

My issue now is that whenever I select that entry I receive the error "ERROR: device "/dev/sdb3" not found, skipping fsck" message and am then kicked into the emergency shell. /dev/sdb3 is the location of my Arch install, however when running blkid in the emergency shell, my sdb drive and its partitions don't show up at all. Only the sda partitions where Windows is installed are shown.

If someone could point me in the right direction to fixing this it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit:

I realized I should probably also post the results for lsblk when I'm in Linux mint:

sda      8:0    0 465.8G  0 disk
├─sda1   8:1    0   500M  0 part
├─sda2   8:2    0   128M  0 part
├─sda3   8:3    0 453.5G  0 part
├─sda4   8:4    0   850M  0 part
└─sda5   8:5    0  10.8G  0 part
sdb      8:16   0 119.2G  0 disk
├─sdb1   8:17   0    89G  0 part /
├─sdb2   8:18   0  1023M  0 part /boot/efi
└─sdb3   8:19   0  29.3G  0 part

sda is my windows hard drive

sdb1 is my mint installation
sdb2 is my grub install location
sdb3 is where my Arch installation

and here is blkid results as well:

/dev/sda1: LABEL="ESP" UUID="ECEB-A7E1" TYPE="vfat" PARTLABEL="EFI system partition" PARTUUID="7a9d9e8f-ef18-416d-bc3a-460157144d0e"

/dev/sdb3: UUID="591a5b0b-5ba6-42aa-a0e6-5dd9b9a46c95" TYPE="ext4" PARTUUID="4f17f892-03"


Edit2:

I solved it on my own. I just re-ran grub-mkconfig and initcpio and it seems to have solved the problem.
