device doesn't exitst problem
Now only can use arch linux fallback
when I choose arch linux
then this happen
waitting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/b2f2714f-f1da-40aa-bb8c-880d56673f9d...
root device' /dev/disk/by-uuid/b2f2714f-f1da-40aa-bb8c-880d56673f9d' doesn't exitst,
error: failed to parse block elevice ids for' /dev/disk/by-uuid/b2f2714f-f1da-40aa-bb8c-880d56673f9d'
error: unable to detect or create root device ' /dev/disk/by-uuid/b2f2714f-f1da-40aa-bb8c-880d56673f9d'
If the device' /dev/disk/by-uuid/b2f2714f-f1da-40aa-bb8c-880d56673f9d' gets created while you are here, try adding 'rootdelay=10' or higher to the kernel command-line
ramfs$ ^@
How to fix this? Thank you very much.
I'm learning English. If there are any grammar or other mistakes, please tell me. Thank you.

Re: device doesn't exitst problem
Looks like the kernel has updated at some point and failed. So with this in mind failback is currently only working (Think of failback as a backup or your previous kernel) I would boot up in failback and reinstall your kernel and you should be good.

Re: device doesn't exitst problem
FWIW, I had several issues with the /dev/disk/by-uuid/ stuff, I switched back to /dev/sdX and it was all good.

Re: device doesn't exitst problem
thesimpsons - if fallback is working, that means your normal init image is broken. Try regenerating it with mkinitcpio.
crankyadmin - fyi, fallback has nothing to do with your previous kernel. It is an init image generated without autodetection, which means it includes a lot more modules. The mkinitcpio wiki page has more details.
