where did you get the kernel from? kernel.org snapshot? git? third

it, the first time the system froze.
Next time onwards, I get the following error every time:

Do you know how to use your own costom kernel? That error is common
when a driver is missing (i.e. not built-in, and not included in
initrd). The easiest way to test that is to look at what's in
/proc/partitions and /dev/disk/by-id during normal system boot (I
assume you still have the old, working Ubuntu kernel?) and during
failed boot when you're dropped to busybox. If your root device
(sda8?) is not on /proc/partitions, then it's definitely block device
driver problem.
