hard drive - Linux RAID1 disk not booting in new PC - Gave up waiting for root device

I had a Debian linux PC with two hard disks using raid1. Used is as DHCP and firewall. The raid1 consisted of two partitions, md0 as swap, md1 for / .




The motherboard in that PC stopped working, and I am now trying to transfer the raid1 setup to a new PC, "as is".



So I want to be able to boot into the new PC using my old raid1/disks setup.



When I tried to boot the new pc using one of the raid1 disks, I get the error message
"Gave up waiting for root device.
ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/8c...e48 does not exist.
Dropping to a shell."



None of the similar questions on this site are about raid1 setup with this error so I made a new question.




I am not too advanced in linux (I was helped for the initial setup), but eager to figure this out.



Can anyone help me?
