booting problem from kernel 3.6.0-rc7

[nasmit]

hi all,

I have a problem using Grub2 with bzImage. Please help!
I build a kernel successfully on my vmware machine. Now I got bzImage-3.6.0-rc7 and System.map-3.6.0-rc7. I copied both files to the boot directory where my kernel images are available.
Like anyother time i executed the command update-grub, but my new kernel is not identified and not added to grub.cfg file. Then I tried to things

1. renaming bzImage to vmlinuz - update-grub identfied it and is in the list but when I try to boot from it an error message displays as follows-
"..kernel panic not synching..Unable to mount root fs on unknown(0,0)"----I dont understand these error.
In fact the menu entry for my new kernel image is as follows:


" menuentry 'Ubuntu, with Linux 3.6.0-rc7' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-3.6.0-rc7-advanced-dc74ed58-9671-427a-8a1b-e18f0c65f441' {
recordfail
gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
insmod gzio
insmod part_msdos
insmod ext2
set root='hd0,msdos1'
if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos1 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos1 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos1 dc74ed58-9671-427a-8a1b-e18f0c65f441
else
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root dc74ed58-9671-427a-8a1b-e18f0c65f441
fi
echo 'Loading Linux 3.6.0-rc7 ...'
linux /boot/vmlinuz-3.6.0-rc7 root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash $vt_handoff
}

"
this is automatically generated by update-grub.

Please help, I could not move anymore!

hello,

I am stuck over here the whole day trying to fix the booting problem....I dont what I am missing. Help Guys!!

I compiled a fresh kernel source 3.6.rc7 and got bzImage-3.6.0.rc7 and System.map-3.6.0.rc7. I copied them to my boot directory, /boot and I run update-grub. However, grub2 did not recognize the new kernel image and did not update grub.cfg. I found some post which talks about grub2 cannot recognize bzImages and told me to rename it to vnlinuz instead. I did and run update-grub again. In fact, now is available in the grub.cfg, but I could not reboot from it. The error message is as follows:

"Kernel panic not synching..unable to mount root fs on unkown(0,0)"...

I am using grub2 and my boot partition is /dev/sda1. I have attached you boot information, if required.
