[solved] GroovyArcade Linux - /dev/disk/by-label/GA not found

[Francesco]

Hello everyone,

 i have Groovy Arcade installed on a 80 GB IDE disk and it works.

Now i would like to try the same hd on another pc that is inside an already made cab, and i obtain this error when booting:

/dev/disk/by-label/GA not found

I have tried also on other pc without luck. I attach a shot.

Is there a way to solve the problem? When i move a disk with linux inside it almost always works fine even with different hardware.

I have tried modifying fstab using device names instead of labels but nothing changed.

Thank you in advance and happy christmas .

Seems there is an error in initrd creation configuration: http://superuser.com/questions/769047/unable-to-find-root-device-on-a-fresh-archlinux-install

As it turns out, Linux could not detect any drives due to the block mkinitcpio hook (responsible for block devices) missing from the default image. This was due to it being placed after autodetect in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf. To fix this, the HOOKS=... line in that file needs to be changed so that block comes before autodetect

Before the fix:

HOOKS="base udev autodetect block modconf filesystems keyboard fsck"

After the fix:

HOOKS="base udev block autodetect modconf filesystems keyboard fsck"

Running mkinitcpio -p linux to regenerate the initramfsthen fixed the problem permanently.

Now it kinda works (to say the truth, it says that the nvidia card i've got in my other pc is not supported, but it's still a step forward: i think when i'll try it in the cab it will work )

If someone is interested i can post/share the 2 initramfs.
