Can't boot OMV 2.1 w/ 4.4.2 kernel #2

I used the script from here to try updating my new OMV 2.1 install to kernel 4.4.2 by tweaking the 4.4.1 script. Everything seemed to have worked OK, except when I try to boot with that kernel, I'm getting "Gave up waiting for root device" errors and am getting kicked out to initramfs. Booting off the 3.16 backport kernel works fine. I'm installed on a USB device, if that matters. Any ideas as to how I might diagnose this?

Interestingly, if I create an OMV VM in VMware, the same .deb files install fine and it boots without issue off it.

Hallo,

I assume you are running from a non standard boot device like a USB-Stick. Therefore you need to compile the kernel with the necessary modules. I have created Kernels for OMV that can be used an have as well not standard Block device drivers included.
