See my previous message. It looks like you are having the same issue I had with the MPT Fusion
SCSI device driver. I take it you got this information from the currently operational kernel during
boot time right?
Anyway, re-run the kernel recompile process and during the driver selection, go to
SCSI devices, there is a section for MPT support, select that either as a module or
include in the kernel - I would suggest including it in the kernel since it is a core
necessary driver, this being the case, I don't think you will need to worry about a new
init ram disk image. That should solve your problem.
regards,
Geoff Rainey.

>Frustrating - I have had this many times, and it requires a thorough understanding on both the recompilation details and the boot process. It will be something like your kernel cannot mount the root filesystem and this is because either you do not have the disk device drivers compiled into the kernel, or they are not included in the initial RAM disk image which makes device drivers available for the kernel during the boot process.

OK. This makes sense. From dmesg ..
