Fixed by using grub.

Error when trying to boot into new install. ERROR: device ' ' not found. Skipping fsck. :: mounting ' ' on real root mount : /new_root: no valid filesystem type specified. ERROR: Failed to mount ' ' on real root And I’m getting dropped in emergency shell. I used official wiki, used refind as bootloader. Second time I tried installing and got same error.
Edit1: fstab
`#/dev/nvme0n1p2
UUID=4dae009f-c08f-4636-b1b5-85a4713a6f40 / ext4 rw,relatime 0 1

#/dev/nvme0n1p1

p2 is root partition
p1 is efi partition.

Edit2: running timedatectl in chroot returns System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate. Failed to connect to bus: Host is down

    You’ll need to post more info about your bootloader/fstab config. The error ERROR: device ' ' not found implies there’s something set to an empty string.

        I use Grub for my bootloader so I’m probably not the best person to ask for rEFind problems, but a good place to start for everything Arch related is the wiki. The page for rEFInd has a configuration section that outlines where the config files are and how to read them. Check that everything there matches what you expect it to be: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/REFInd#Configuration.

        If you’ve verified that your bootloader config is correct and it’s installed on the drive you’re booting from correctly another config to check is /etc/fstab to ensure you have a root device set in there too. The wiki is your friend here too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fstab

        Like foo said, sounds like a bad fstab. Post your fstab here.

        Also, pro-tip: Keep a bootable live distro like linux mint on a usb drive for situations like this, so you can easily mount the drive, chroot, and do whatever maintenance you need if you get to an unbootable state.

    Check your /etc/fstab file to make sure your root partition is correctly specified, then rerun your bootloader install.

    1 Did you boot the live medium with bios or efi?

    2 Do you have libnvme and nvme-cli installed? If no, try them, if yes look up things on the manuals. It may be that your bootloader can’t read/mount from the nvme

    3 Ever since systemd-boot appeared things have been not working so well, now, have they?
