Problem with making Archiso and Calamares

Calamares finishes its install process and when I reboot it fails . It gets past grub and then starts the kernel but then crashes to the cli with the error:

ERROR ’ ’ device did not show up after 30 seconds …

The initramfs can not find the disk device on which the kernel was installed.

  • Have a hard look at the way you partitioned the disk using calamares. The root partition must be a linux compatable file type… eg ext4 for the root partition
  • Did you setup an EFI partition? … it must be fat32 file type and it must be mounted on /boot/efi.

Are You installing to a normal internal disk?
