It seems that you did not use the --initrd option of make-kpkg, which will cause an initrd to be created when the kernel package is installed (and grub will add the initrd line).

For this custom kernel you've already built and installed, you should be able to run "update-initramfs -ck 2.6.18" (You may need the "_custom.1.0" here too) and then "update-grub" to fix the problem.
