Did you mkinitrd for the new kernel? Its possible your initial ramdisk doesnt have support for ext3 and is unable to mount root because of this.

It seems that compiling the kernel by modules was the problem,,, i recompiled the kernel all together with the ext3 support and stuff inside and that was it, problem solved. Now i have another issue, my ethernet card does not work,,,, i will post later with details
