I have been running 8.2 on the test repo for that last couple of months. Today I ran a pacman -Syu, which performed a both a myth and a kernel update. After reboot, the system fails to start up with the following message: Code: ERROR: device 'UUID=<myUuid>' not found, skip fsck. ERROR: Unable to find root device You are being dropped to a recovery shell Type 'exit' to try and continue booting sh: cant't access tty: job control turned off At this point the the system does not have a working keyboard. I am able to to cd boot into 8.1.1 and mount my root 8.2 drive. I know I need to configure something at this point, but at this not sure exactly what. |

When you boot up it checks \etc\fstab to see which UUID drive is your boot drive. You can find the UUID of your drive with this command Code: blkid Then change the UUID for you boot drive |

The devs posted that "testing" was going to be unstable again now that 8.2 has been released. |

The UUID is correct... Removed the UUID altogether from the fstab and replaced it with devine instead: /dev/sda1 Rebooted, the exact same error about UUID again. Going to burn an official 8.2 iso and see if an upgrade will work. |

What did you do to recover from this problem? I'm having the same issue with an R8.2 to R8.3 upgrade. I've started another thread here. |
