That's it, the initrd was not created. Thus I replaced -u with -c, to
create a new initrd, which unfortunately doesn't work much better (grub
didn't create a good enough stub, I don't know why and didn't
investigate yet).
I also recompiled the kernel my own way, with your config : this works
as well as with my config (didn't test much in depth), but your config
also enables to power the device off (my config can't, so I need to push
the power button for a dozen seconds to power off).
