I am not sure, but perhaps you are using initrd and you forgot to use the 
mkinitrd command when you compiled your new kernel?

I hope I am not insulting your intelligence with my reply, but I don't know if 
you are new to compiling Debian kernels.  Take a look at etc/lilo.conf
or /boot/grub/menu.lst  if that is appropriate for your system.  That should 
tell you if your previous kernel was using initrd.  If you see a file that 
looks like initrd.img-<version> or something similar, you need to use the 
mkinitrd command OR configure your kernel so that initrd is not necessary, 
then compile again.
