Must be something else then....have you tried to compare your custom build kernel config with your default distro's config? perhaps you can locate the difference there. And the most basic of all, are you sure your /etc/fstab points to correct rootfs? I mean, something like, if it's pointing to rootfs using label or UUID, maybe it needs initrd.
