[Solved] Moving to ssd causing kernel panics

I decided to switch over my / and /boot to an ssd, so I cp -Rp'd anything that isn't mounted at boot (proc, home, etc).
Both are ext3 partitions.
After installing grub, I get a kernel panic.

Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init
Pid:1, comm: switch_root Not tainted 2.6.32-ARCH #1
(backtrace?)

Any help would be appreciated.

Doesn't uuid change in these situations? Not sure exactly about your specific error message, just a general observation.

AFAIK, no, but that doesn't seem to be the problem because before it gave a different message when it couldn't find the disk(due to a typo)

Re: [Solved] Moving to ssd causing kernel panics

Found the solution, udev doesn't load early enough to make /dev/null and /dev/console

mknod -m 600 /ssd/dev/console c 5 1
mknod -m 666 /ssd/dev/null c 1 3
