I have been trying for three days now to get my own kernel to boot using Debian. I've customized an lot of kernels in the past and don't remember ever having this much trouble. Would someone please take a look at what I have and tell me what I'm missing. I keep getting a kernel panic when I try to boot into my kernel. The stock Debian Kernels boot just fine. A copy of my kernel configuration can be seen at http://www.brannanorwills.com/kernel-config .

The kernel panic says:

"not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknow block(0,0).


just a  guess:

Are you using grub? if so post your grub entry for the working kernel
and for the non working kernel.
The entry for 2.6.11-1-686 is the one that works. Here are the grub entries:
## ## End Default Options ##
