I just purchased a new HP 17-by4633dx laptop (Intel i5, 8GB RAM, 256GD SSD), and I am trying to install Manjaro as the only OS. I’ve done this before on an older version of the same laptop without undue trouble, but with the new laptop, it has been a massive headache.
I created a bootable USB with the latest XFCE release of Manjaro, and the initial installation seemed to go fine. When I restart and remove the USB, I get the following:
ERROR: device 'UUID=88a...7c' not found. Skipping fsck.
ERROR: Unable to find root device 'UUID=88a...7c'.
You are being dropped to a recovery shell
Type 'exit' to try and continue booting
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[rootfs /]# _
I have searched through this forum and elsewhere to find a solution, but none of the suggestions have worked. I am at a complete loss for what to do and would really appreciate any assistance.
