Custom kernel frozen in loading initramfs

I compile my own kernel using the traditional method:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … raditional

But still can not get to boot the new kernel.
I try to start with the new kernel, but freezes on loading initramfs.
The strange thing is that I get no kernel panic.
This is my kernel configuration:
http://paste.debian.net/211561/

Any idea?

Re: Custom kernel frozen in loading initramfs

One idea would be to post the actual error messages or output you do get.

Re: Custom kernel frozen in loading initramfs

What's the kernel command line you use? Post your bootloader config (Grub/syslinux) from /boot/.

Are you sure you are booting the custom kernel with the custom initramfs that comes with it?

This is obvious, but I get no error message.
I select the entry for the new kernel and shows me the message:
loading initramfs

And there it freezes, and it does not appear any error message, Just do not load continuous kernel.

@Max-P:
I use make menuconfig, you mean that?
These are the entries that use the grub:

menuentry 'Arch GNU/Linux, with Linux core repo kernel' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-core repo kernel-true-802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d' {
	load_video
	set gfxpayload=keep
	insmod gzio
	insmod part_msdos
	insmod ext2
	set root='hd0,msdos6'
	if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos6 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos6 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos6  802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d
	else
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d
	fi
	echo	'Loading Linux core repo kernel ...'
	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d ro  
	echo	'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
	initrd	/boot/initramfs-linux.img
}

And my custom kernel:

menuentry 'Arch GNU/Linux, with Linux kernel' --class arch --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-kernel-true-802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d' {
	load_video
	set gfxpayload=keep
	insmod gzio
	insmod part_msdos
	insmod ext2
	set root='hd0,msdos6'
	if [ x$feature_platform_search_hint = xy ]; then
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root --hint-bios=hd0,msdos6 --hint-efi=hd0,msdos6 --hint-baremetal=ahci0,msdos6  802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d
	else
	  search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root 802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d
	fi
	echo	'Loading Linux kernel ...'
	linux	/boot/vmlinuz-kernel root=UUID=802dacb3-1699-4dea-863c-a0c653fbb66d ro  
	echo	'Loading initial ramdisk ...'
	initrd	/boot/initramfs-kernel.img
}

The entry for the custom kernel was created automatically with os-prober.
In the kernel I add support for initramfs:

General setup  --->
    [*] Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support

Re: Custom kernel frozen in loading initramfs

Have you tried regenerating the initramfs from a chroot?

Re: Custom kernel frozen in loading initramfs

of course, I've tried several times, but always the same problem.
Initramfs loading freezes and there is no error message .. hmm
