[Solved] Error: deivce 'UUID="***"' not found skipping fsck

I installed Arch Linux on my external hard drive.  Whenever I boot up I'm prompted with the error message of this (https://imgur.com/Q7ug9Qc).  When I booted up arch Linux with the fallback initramsfs, the system boots up and I can log in as I am supposed to.  A few people recommended maybe I need to install something extra but I can't find an answer.

Grub.cfg = https://paste.c-net.org/PukedBruising
mkinitcpio.conf = https://paste.c-net.org/Uneasyexited

You probably generated your initramfs on a different machine. The autodetect hook removes drivers not needed for the current system, so what you're seeing would be expected. Remove that hook or just use the fallback, which is just the normal one without autodetect.

Okay, but is there any disadvantages or side effects from using the fallback one instead of the main one??

As I said, the fallback is just the normal one without autodetect.
