Kernel Panic

[yertnamreg1218]

I am trying to recompile my linux kernel to 2.6.5-7.104. And I am at the point of trying to boot to it. My root partition is hda3 so in lilo.conf i set that as root for the new kernel. But when I boot it gives me a kernel panic and tells me it can't mount it. This is my first time to recompile a kernel so I am kinda a n00b, but i am pretty familiar with linux.
Thanks for any help
