I'm sorry for You screwed up evening. Nevertheless there's nothing I could do to prevent it.

AC defaults to romfs. Bootsplash doesn't need initramfs - fbsplash needs. And initramfs is the way to do booting up in upstream.

P.S. I'd guess that UUID recognizing would be great here, as It'd solve the numbers and devices magic. Once more sorry for Your last time.
