Made the mistake of booting the system with the USB external drive unplugged. Would not completely boot. Plugged back in, restarted, now but it won't boot at all at this point. Gets to "Loading initial ramdisk, hangs, then throws errors. See attached file.

Any ideas for me to troubleshoot?
Thanks.

Check your disks....
 
itNGO - thanks for your reply. Physically my internal disks look fine and connected. I have 3 external USB drives and it seems if I every mistakenly boot up with one disconnected this sort of thing happens. The system cannot recover on its own from it. Not sure why.

Can you tell me specific steps (or point me to a post) that will help me diagnose the issue? Sorry I'm not well versed on the system but can follow instructions fairly well.
 
Maybe the boot order or drive order gets mixed and you need to tell you GRUB/Bootloader more detailed, maybe with DiskID where to find the Boot-Data?
 
Thanks again - Googled edit GRUB/Bootloader but did not turn up anything I can identify as useful. Can you point me to a post or a document with steps for this?
 
If the system start from usb deivce, maybe you can try to specified the uuid of your usb deivce in GRUB/Bootloader, in case of the label of usb device changed in system.

Thanks for the suggestion. No, The system starts from an internal SSD.
