Initramfs error during boot

Hi all,
I built stable tree and latest(linus' tree) with default configuration
and then installed them on my laptop. However, when I try to boot my
system with kernels that I built, it cannot boot. It freezes just
after selection made on GRUB and nothing is printed on the display. I
managed to get following error by booting system in recovery mode:
Starting up ...
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/48bfb57f-4750-4537-b563-7094743c161e on /root
failed: Invalid argument
mount: mounting /dev on /root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init.
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
I build kernel with following commands:
make O=../build defconfig
make O=../build -j2
sudo make O=../build modules_install install
You could see grub.cfg entries below for both (custom build kernel and
stock build kernel):
