This message says that it found a vfat filesystem on 8:3x (I cannot see
what digit should be 'x').  That is probably sdc1 or sdc2. Maybe even
sdc6 or sdc7.
However the vfat filesystem didn't have /sbin/init.

This one says it couldn't find anything at 8,22, which I think
should be sdb6.
It also shows that you have and sdc6, but sdb only goes up to sdb3.

So it seems that your disk drives have changed name - not a wholely
unexpected event these days.

We now need answers to questions like:
 - what device do you expect the root filesystem to be on
 - how is the kernel being told this?  Maybe it is hard coded
    into your initrd.  Knowing which distro and what /etc/fstab
    says might help (though it wouldn't help me, I'm just about out
    of my depth at this point)
Maybe if you changed /etc/fstab to mount by uuid instead of hardcoding
e.g. /etc/sdb3, and then run "mkinitramfs" or whatever, it might work.

Good luck,
