[Solved] Arch failes to boot after selecting item in Grub

Hi,

when I try to boot Arch Linux with bootloader Grub I get this error:
ERROR: device 'UUID=1b0a866a- ...

The boot process gets stopped in emergency shell.

For details of the error I have attached a screenshot.

To start root cause analysis I booted from system rescue CD and chrooted into my installation.
Searching for the string "1b0a866a" in /etc returned several hits.

And, what is more important, the output of blkid confirmed the correct UUID.
Also for this I have attached another screenshot.

What I don't understand is that boot process fails due to incorrect UUID, but blkid confirms this UUID to be correct.

Please advise.

THX

Executing
