#Correct UUID to put into refind_linux.conf

Installing Arch for what is pretty much the first time coming from nixos, fedora silverblue, void, and tumbleweed, and I decided I wanted to try using rEFInd as my bootloader for once. I read the wiki article and copied the example config, and replaced the "XXXXXXXX-XXXX..." UUID placeholder with the UUID as stated in my previously generated fstab. When I rebooted however, it gave me this error:

mount: /new_root: can't find PARTUUID=[insert my UUID here (too lazy to type it out again sorry)]

It is worth noting that I have my root filesystem separated into btrfs subvolumes (@ at /, @home at /home, @swap at /swap with 2 swapfiles of 2 Gb, and @var_log at /var/log) and I have my ESP mounted at /boot.

I additionally tried adding the line rootflags=subvol=@ but that didn't seem to work either.

Is there some sort of error with my config?
Am I putting the right UUID? (I also tried setting the root=PARTUUID= parameter to my ESP UUID to see if that was my issue, did not work)

I would rather not retreat back to GRUB just because of one issue, and I think that this issue is just me incorrectly setting my kernel parameters rather than a problem with rEFInd, partly because I am finding myself dropped into a shell at all.

Any help would be appreciated.

fstab

I belive that uses the normal UUID, well it seems rEFInd is trying to use the PARTUUID (they're different)

that makes sense

So either change it to the PARTUUID (you can get it from blkid) or see if you can make rEFInd use the UUID

I'll mark this as solved after I test
