Not yet, we haven't fixed your issue yet :)

But judging from the screenshots, you don't have the required drivers
for the kernel to find your root partition.

Make sure you've compiled in the SATA/IDE driver for your motherboard
and the driver for your root filesystem (ext2,3,4). When you have all
those compiled into the kernel you don't need an initrd AFAICT.

Simply try booting a live cd, see what SATA/IDE driver gets detected,
enable it in your kernel and then try again.

Or take the .config from an older kernel which boots on your box.

HTH.
