Not an expert but you need a key and a certificate (even if self signed)
to make it work.

In my config :
SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl.key/server.key

I don't remember how to generate these files, google will tell you.

you may also need to add :
SSLSessionCache none
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 600

If you have more traffic than me with your server, you may want to setup
a proper ssl cache. (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslsessioncache)

Did you compile your kernel with initrd support?
If not either include support for your hard drive directly into the
kernel or add initrd support (option --initrd of make-kpkg).
If you already have support for initrd check that your boot loader
effectively load the correct initrd image.
