Hi,

I've had an experience recompiling my kernel (version 2.6.11) to 
activate NTFS support.
When I rebooted my PC, it's got the same errors as yours (kernel 
panic).  So what I did
was to recompile again, but this time using new version (2.6.14) and 
everything worked
perfectly.

Seems to me that there is much more to do than just make (xconfig), make 
&& make modules
&& make modules_install (and mkinitrd) whenever you re-compile same 
kernel version.
