Hi,

I had this exact issue - I thought I had done something wrong.  I booted into a live distro, chrooted to my root partition, mounted all the normal partitions, reinstalled the latest kernel package and it all started working again.  I still have no idea what went wrong - the initrd image as originally built did not recognize vfat or xfs, but did recognize btrfs, and that was true for the fallback image as well.

regards,
