Did you do a 'make modules_install' before 'make install' when
installing the kernel?  I had this same problem, and the problem was
that the filesystems are installed as modules by default.  For some
reason the 'make modules_install' step got missed.  Try it and see.
It will not take as long as recompiling the whole kernel!

Good luck!
