Hi, sorry for the late response, but I wasn't sure this fit. > ERROR: device 'r' not found. Skipping fsck. > ERROR: Unable to find root device 'r'. You seem more knowledgeable than me about this, but I found a similar problem in Gentoo whose responses may be of use: https://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg157987.html In there, too, often I find that mounting manually works, it doesn't find the root device right automatically. Although the problems are different, they might have a similar solution. Maybe you should try the suggestion of creating your initramfs manually? Hope this helps, João Miguel
