You do not mention if you ran mkinitrd? The default Debian kernels use
an initrd.img to boot, compiles things as modules. Sounds like, at
least, the file system driver is not being loaded, the kernel panic. I
would either; not use the an initrd.img to make one for your system, I
don't use them so I am no help there :)
