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

    Every time I made this mistake I booted again the live iso, mounted the boot drive and edit it.

    Edit: you can also just edit the entry on refind directly to boot once on a correct config, and then fix it inside your actual system. The error is that the root filesystem will have an uuid that relates to the live iso image, not to your actual system.

      I think I managed to mount it but what should I edit?

        Ok, if I understood correctly your fstab what you should do is:

        1. Boot the live iso
        2. Run mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt
        3. run nano /mnt/refind_linux.conf
        4. Alter the file so it says this:
        "Boot with standard options"  "rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p2"
"Boot to single-user mode"    "rw root=/dev/nvme0n1p2 single"
"Boot with minimal options"   "ro root=/dev/nvme0n1p2"
        1. Save and close
        2. Unmount the drive umount /mnt
        3. Reboot

        That should work

        Edit: noticed my disk was 1 while yours is 0, didn’t remembered I had two ssds on that machine hahahah

        Edit2: check that the file exists in /mnt, it should if you ran refind-install the first time.

          I get the same error. Should I install grub?

            Did you confirm that the file existed before editing? And that you were mounting the correct boot and not root partition?

            I don’t know what else it can be if that doesn’t solve it.
