This is way off-topic on debian-security, but: This suggests your new kernel is failing to find /dev/sda. Does the boot sequence mention anywhere that it's detected your SCSI interface (host adapter)? If not, do a "make menuconfig" and check the SCSI configuration to make sure support for your SCSI hardware is being compiled into the kernel (NOT as a module, since modules are not available till after the root fs is mounted). HTH, Zak.
