[SOLVED] Kernel doesn’t find root partition

Hi everyone

I tried setting up Arch on one of my laptop this morning (previously running NixOS) but the kernel doesn’t seem to detect my nvme disk (formatted in ext4) when booting up.

Some infos about my setup/laptop:

The laptop is a [https://www.lenovo.com/fr/fr/p/laptops/ … tech_specs](Lenovo Yoga 7 Gen 8 14" AMD) with an AMD R7 7735U CPU

The M.2 SSD is a WD PC SN740 SDDPMQD-512G-1101

Here is what is shown when trying to boot the computer up:

Here is what lsmkinitcpio shows for the initramfs:

And here is my systemd-boot entry.

(also I didn’t find a way to reduce the size of the images in the post, sorry for that…)

bad bootloader config. There is no option called 'initramfs', it's 'initrd'.

Edit: And in the future, please https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_o … n_services
