Badiane,

	Are you sure your kernel compile succeeded? If for instance, you
were doing a 'make zImage', the build process complains at the very end
that the "kernel is too big" or something like that. In that case, I've
seen the zImage file actually being produced, but its worthless - you will
get failures like the one you just described.

	If that is the case, do a "make bzImage".
