I know that this can happen due to 2 reasons:
1) wrong boot parameters,
2) compiled fs as module.
I've been checking the first reason, and I couldn't solve through it... I use grub, and the first time I compiled the kernel using genkernel. Now I compiled it manually. The boot parameters differ from each type of kernel compiling, right? I tried to remove all the root=/dev/ram0... leaving just the /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda4, but it didn't work (though the error message said now "unknown-block(3,4)" instead of "(1,0)".
Note: before I had kernel-2.6.11-r9" and now I have "vmlinuz"...
For the second reason, I'm sure that I compiled ReiserFS in the kernel, and not as module. However, it was the only one I compiled! Did I need ext2, even though I don't have ext2?
Any ideas before I recompile the kernel again?
And, if I have to recompile it, do I start with previous the configuration, where I would just need to check this fs detail, or will I have to pass through all the items again?
thanks!!

I end up with a

Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
I will need to use the livecd to fix the prob.. after I find what's going on...

You dont need to replace your old kernel files you can simply copy
them over to /boot under a different name so use:
My previous kernel has:
/boot/kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r10
/boot/initrd-2.6.11-gentoo-r10
/boot/System.map-2.6.11-gentoo-r10
or what ever your new kernel is. Than just add a new option in your
grub.conf much like the old one for you newly compiled kernel. This
probably the best thing to do especially if your new kernel has errors
when loading, you can easily revert back to the old one and fix the
problem.
