Kernel Panic - Unable to mount root



Hello all,

In my recent urge to go back to debian I've encountered errors that
I've never seen before on my earlier installs.  Previously I've used a
2.6.8 kernel and luckily that was available in sarge. so I used that
config and did a

make-kpkg --initrd -rev 1 kernel_image

and then installed the deb.  Upon reboot I received a :

Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root

This is extremely weird considering I have the exact setup from last
time, same file systems, etc and obviously if the 2.4 kernel loaded
without issues so hardware wouldn't be the cause.  Now I've got a
stock .config file and recompiled that and that seemed to work. 
However at one point I was able to break it again, although I don't
know how and I was too tired to trace it.  Does anyone know anything
about this?
