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.
