It says it can't find the filesystem labelled 'my-root'.

These labels can be set and queried while creating filesystems, or
afterwards with `fdisk`, `e2label` (from e2fsprogs) or `btrfs filesystem label`
(from btrfs-progs).

So, can you share the file-systems section of your system configuration?
And, how is your storage partitioned and the filesystems laid out?

The conf I used follows

It's the same conf I used in the previous system generations. One of those
generations is running right now

What is the result of `fdisk -l` and `e2label /dev/foo`, where foo is
the partition that should contain '/'?

This is e2label

sda   sda1  sda2  sda3  sda5  sda6
catonano@xps ~$ sudo e2label /dev/sda1

e2label: Valore magic non corretto nel super-blocco nell'aprire /dev/sda2

catonano@xps ~$ sudo e2label /dev/sda3
e2label: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read
nell'aprire /dev/sda3
Impossibile trovare un valido super-blocco per il file system.
catonano@xps ~$ sudo e2label /dev/sda5
root
catonano@xps ~$ sudo e2label /dev/sda6
home


and this is fdisk -l

The issue is that there is no filesystem with the label 'my-root'. Did
this configuration really work previously with the same partition and
filesystem layout?

Oh gosh, no

The conf file I pasted is not the one I used for the working generations

The conf file I pasted is the one I used for playing with the qemu virtual
machines !

Now I'm reconiguring again with the hopeully right file
I'll let you know

Sorry, I have been panicking !
