Yes, you need at least two things. Check the Changes file in the documentation folder in the new kernel package you got from the internet. It tells you exactly what you need and where to get them. Look at this also, it may give you a hint.

you need to show us a more detailed error message.
but basicly if you did the kernel by hand you probably didn't do an initrd, but if you did make sure you have ext2 fs support enabled and ram disk support.

peace

Salamo 3alaikom,

No one can guess what went wrong with ur initrd. Care to give the exact error?

Salam.
