GoFlex Home can't get passed kernel load.

[relance]

Hi,
I've been using my GoFlex loaded with archlinux as a Samba server for awhile. Today I decided I wanted to restart archlinux from scratch because I was experimenting with it over some months and just wanted a clean install with Samba.

I have previously updated my uBoot by following moonman's guide, and was running archlinux through my usb. Upon formating and reinstalling archlinux on my usb (again, following moonman's guide), my system won't boot into archlinux. I have not changed anything so I am not sure what is wrong. If someone could help me solve my problem it would be greatly appreciated.

My printenv is

I'm not too sure, but I'm assuming
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ 18.554224] VFS: Cannot open root device "disk/by-label/urootfs" or unknown-block(0,0)

has something to do with it not booting?

I have tried making my usb as ext2 instead of ext3 but the problem is the same. I am also booting without my sata hdd mounted to eliminate it from interfering.

Thank you.

You took the non-standard workaround mentioned in the uboot guide.
You forgot to download uInitrd and put it in /boot and/or label your rootfs partition "urootfs"
