Common causes of this problem are:
- Not compiling in the filesystem type of the root partition.
- Not compiling in drivers for the controller
- If the filesystem and controller are not compiled into the kernel,
not providing access to the right initrd or not providing an initrd at
all.
- Incorrect fstab entries.
Without the specific error messages we can't help you more.
