Partition not found after install

I am in need of help for my Arch Linux install.
I assumed this problem would be well-known but after many install tries (with GRUB and systemd), I could not get my Arch Linux installation to boot properly. The current install (bootloader systemd) gives the error message.

Waiting 10 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-partuuid/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
ERROR: device 'PARTUUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' not found. Skipping fsck.
: mounting 'PARTUUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' on real root
mount: /new_root: can't find PARTUUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
ERROR: failed to mount 'PARTUUID=xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx' on real root
You are now being dropped to an emergency shell

I put the output of journalctl below (which I got by chrooting from a live USB)

The PC is a Lenovo Ideapad 3 from 2023.

I tried so far: checking/changing the UUID/PARTUUID/by-id in the loader/entries/ .conf file, rerunning the mkinitcpio, reinstalling the kernel, tried to install different linux kernels (since there were a couple of ACPI errors when booting from the live USB). So far to no avail. I suspeced the BIOS might not be properly out of secure mode, so I tried (and succeeded installing an Linux Mint on it). When I tried to install the Arch Linux parallel to Linux Mint, the GRUB loader from LM found the system, but it still could not boot on it (same error... well, the GRUB version). I also tried with the Ubuntu 25.10, but there the installation process failed. The current iteration I did with archinstall (because I got tired after the third failed manual install) and has the linux-lts.

I would really appreciate help, tips and pointers...

Re: Partition not found after install

Thanks for the suggestion but I always double checked that the UUID or PARTUUID od /disk/by-id/ was correct. And most of the time copy-pasted it so as not to make errors by copying by hand...

Re: Partition not found after install

Thanks for the suggestion but I always double checked that the UUID or PARTUUID od /disk/by-id/ was correct. And most of the time copy-pasted it so as not to make errors by copying by hand...

And the UUID wasn't the issue in that thread, either. Read the whole thing.

Re: Partition not found after install

apologies! should have checked better. Makes sense and now works

I changed the line 

MODULES=(ufs ufshcd-pci)

in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and ran mkinitcpio -P again works like a charm.

Many thanks, would never have come up with it.

PS: The solution with the ufs.conf described in https://belkast.com/posts/linux/ufs/  did not work for me, but probably I missed a step(?).
