Appreciate all the replies. However I have never used an initrd in the
past (been building kernels since the 2.0.x series) and don't want to this
time. sata and ext3 drivers are built into the kernel (not modules) so I
don't think I should need one. Any thoughts as to why I apparently do, or
how to continue not to need one?

Hey all - I'm having more trouble than I ever have before booting my
newly-compiled 2.6.30 kernel. Typically make-kpkg linux-image makes a
usable .deb file, which I can install and be done with it. In this case I
keep getting:
kernel panic: no init found. Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0).
I have tried the following:
- Using the UUID addressing instead of /dev/sda1 for the root= kernel
parameter
- Compiling the kernel both with and without initrd support
Of interest is that the stock 2.6.30-amd64 kernel boots fine. I am posting
my /boot/grub/grub.cfg file and the .config file to
http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/grub.cfg and
http://perrin.socsci.unc.edu/stuff/config for the custom kernel. I am
running debian testing. Any advice would be most helpful!
Thanks,
Andy

Got the same error on squeed.
A update-initramfs solved the problem.
