Re: Hardrive fails to mount on boot, seems to mount fine manually

Changing the UUID is an "if all else fails" option, as I said, in worst case scenario.  If you're sure your UUID for the drive is sound then don't change it.

As to why this happened it's hard to say.  I would look at backing up anything you want to keep in case the drive is beginning to fail.

The firmware for aic94xx and wd719x is not provided by linux-firmware.  As the output is from producing the fallback initrd only the modules have not been detected as required and the warning is normal.

Re: Hardrive fails to mount on boot, seems to mount fine manually

As for the "No IRQ for vector" issue that appears to be a Motherboard compatability issue/bug.  The acccepted solution seems to be this one; https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7759222

Which suggests (for Grub2) to;

1. sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
2. change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=nomsi,noaer"
3.sudo update-grub

Possibly missing firmware for module XXXX
When initramfs are being rebuild after a kernel update, you might get these or similar warnings:

==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: wd719x
These appear to any Arch Linux users, especially those who have not installed these firmware modules. If you do not use hardware which uses these firmwares you can safely ignore this message.

Most common firmware files can be acquired by installing the linux-firmware package. For other packages proving firmware, try searching for the module name in the official repositories or AUR.

Making sure the firmware is installed may help and certainly can't hurt.

Most common firmware files can be acquired by installing the linux-firmware package. For other packages proving firmware, try searching for the module name in the official repositories or AUR.

If you are inferring from the two lines above that linux-firmware provides the firmware for aic94xx and/or wd719x modules or that the output indicates linux-firmware was not installed you are mistaken.

Kernel_parameters documents how to add kernel parameters temporarily for testing.  It also links to the wiki page for each boot loader which provides instructions for making such a change permanent.

Re: Hardrive fails to mount on boot, seems to mount fine manually

The issue remains and I try after every largish update to see if anything is fixed.

Speculative but reasonable suggestions for what I can try to investigate is welcome. I'll update the thread with what efforts and results I make.
