If the root filesystem is ext3 you must either:

	a) have the ext3 filesystem built into the new kernel, or

	b) build the ext3 filesystem as a module and include it in the
	initrd image for the new kernel

Since you didn't state which you did, we can't help much more.  If you
can clarify which you want to do, we can give you instructions.
