On SuSE I always have to build it separately with mkinitrd, and the kernel makefiles are the same, after all. Anyway, your symptoms definitely look like a bad initrd, so you may want to have a closer look in that area. Perhaps build a kernel you can boot without initrd for testing, ie. with the drivers for the root disk and filesystem built in.
