Hello, today I did a fresh install using the december release of the install media. Everything done 'to the book' (the install guide wiki page). Bootloader is syslinux. When booting the freshly installed system, I get the syslinux menu, select Archlinux or fallback, things seem to be normal for a few seconds then everything stops. After some time I get a message that /dev/sda3 (which is the / partition) can't be found and I'm dropped into an emergency shell. No LVM or RAID, just a single SATA disk with sda1 = /boot (100M, ext2) sda2 = swap (2G) sda3 = / (~250G, ext4) Partioning done with cfdisk. The mkinitcpio.conf used is the default one, which seems to have all required hooks. Everything in /boot/syslinux looks ok. Any hints ??
