Debian Squeeze failed to boot after new kernel

I have been trying to install Click modular router. For that purpose I installed Debian 6 in virtual box. In Debian I build and installed linux kernel 2.6.19. Everything is done smoothly until I reboot my VM and select Kernel 2.6.19. I get the following message:

Code:

Uncompressing Linux... Ok, Booting the kernel.
Loading, please wait...
mount: mounting none on /dev failed: No such device
W: devtmpfs not available, falling back to tmpfs for /dev

error getting signalfd

error sending messaage: Connection refused
udevadm[229]: error sending message: Connection refused

Gave up wating for root device. Common problems:
 -Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   -Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough)
   -Check root= (did system wait for right device?)
 -Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)

Alert! /dev/disk/by-uuid/60e3cc7e-8959-4a23-93e1-4389054b2d2 does not exist.
Dropping to a shell!

BusyBox v1.17.1 (Debian 1:1.17.1-8) built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
(initramfs) _

Has anyone any idea what is going on? If it has something to do with modules, what can I do?

Why did you go backwards with the kernel? Squeeze come out with 2.6.32 you've gone backwards to 2.6.19. Do you think maybe that's got something to do with it?
