My gut feeling is that you have omitted the rdev stage and the
kernel is not pointed to the correct partition. Probable
solution would be:
a) Boot in with your old kernel
b) Go to the directory where your new compiled kernel lies
c) Check the partition to which device the kernel is pointed to
by default.
viz. [rdev bzImage (or vmlinuz ... or whatever be the name)
You will get the default point something like /dev/hda3 or
something else].
d) Change this to point to your root file system.
viz. [rdev bzImage /dev/hdd7]
e) Copy this to your C: and re-try.

Just save this LOST snippet, and do a "cat filename" to check!
You need to know ANSI escape sequences, and that's about it.
