Problems booting with a new kernel (updated)

[Leopold Palomo-Avellaneda <lepalom@wol.es>]

Hi,

I have compiled my own kernels since some time ago. Now I create my packages 
with the make-kpkg command. But I'm having a problem with a 2.6.22 or 2.6.19 
homemade kernel in a new amd64 box. The 2.6.18 kernenl from etch works ok.

I can compile and install the new kernel, and also update grub, but when I 
reboot, first of all I don't like but I cannot put an splash image because 
the grub, after reboot doesn't detect this:   
splashimage=/boot/sid.bmp
or
splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/sid.bmp

Also I have tried to put:
root=UUID=ecd007d9-14b1-46c0-9cdb-7bdd1f0f5d80
or 
root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/UUID=ecd007d9-14b1-46c0-9cdb-7bdd1f0f5d80

the kernel is compiled with --initrd  and the ext3 (where the rootfs resides 
is formated) in included in the kernel. Really I don't know what to do. 
Anybody has some idea about it?

Regards,

Leo

Added)

I forget to say that I have also to recreate the init with the 
update-initramfs -k 

and the error that I have is the kernel blocked:

 "Waiting for root file system"  

and after a console....
