[arch-general] Unbootable systems
I've just updated two computers that boot from external USB drives, and now I get a "Error: Unable to determine major/minor number of root device 'waiting 8 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-uuid/296...etc" I have tried to modify grub using by-id, just /dev/sdb1, but no way... Any suggestions? Thanks, Guillermo Leira

I searched, but I didn't find this one... Sorry. I have downgraded mkinitcpio, and system is up again.

get mkinitcpio from testing or append to your bootloader "quiet" option to kernel line. -- Ionuț
