fails to boot after reconnecting storage drives after install

I installed OMV today and the install went okay, few glitches to fix partitions from Ubuntu install. Now that I have it installed I tried to connect my NTFS hard drives. I know NTFS is not supported and right now I am formatting EXT4
on the drive I will use for my media storage.

What I want to know is why it is failing to boot with those drives connected. I would assume it would boot to let me configure the drives but I an up with a crashed system and left at the command prompt.
Any suggestions? Now I get the same thing when connecting that reformatted EXT4 drive.

I am left at initramfs with errors mounting /dev on /root/dev faild : no such file or directory

Boots fine with the drive connected.

thanks

sounds about right. How did the boot change from sda to b? I didn't change it. I am in the gui now, can I change it here and again why does it keep changing it?

thanks....

I would if I could get to the box. Now I am back at that prompt.

totally confused. I have my boot drive connected to the 0 controller and the data drive is on controller 3 how is it possible that Linux is confusing the order of drives.
Once I can get back in I will try to post the fstab but I keep rebooting and end up at the same prompt there I can only seem to type help

so the fstab doesn't show the new drive. Not 100% sure how to add it. I am trying now to add it in the web tool. Still don't understand why the boot is now sdb1 and the data drive is sda1
Also when I try to format the drive in the tool I keep getting over and over failt to read /tmp/bgstatus0c4LS4' (size=0)

sorry I am a bit frustrated and posted that last message. I guess I just need to see if you guys could help me first.

So it seems that grub keeps getting confused on which is the boot drive.

I attached a picture of the fstab output

thanks

sorry I replied just before yours about the fstab

attached a picture. I guess it was too big and I didn't see the error

thanks

I agree but its still confusing and some times leaving me at that prompt. Right now it is up but I know if I reboot again it may again end up at that prompt /initramfs
If it is using ID's then why would it get confused? Is it because the Data drive is sda and the boot is sdb?

thanks

okay but is there a fix so it won't keep going to that prompt? thanks

I can check that but I don't see that being an issue but maybe I can exclude it from trying to boot from that drive in anyway. It seems to be that GRUB is confusing things randomly grabs the correct drive.
Then again I didn't see any reference to the other hard drive in grub, so that is what is confusing.

Boot is 0
Data drive is 3

that did nothing. I made it so it will never boot from that drive and still it hangs at boot time. This is not bios related this is software related.
I attached picture of the error

okay so I ran your commands. My first reboot after running that was successful. I will need to try this a few times.

Do you think any time I attach a drive I will need to run this again?

thanks
