This last line, written this way, looks wrong or at least useless to me.
Try to change it into the simpler

  root = /dev/sda1

or remove it altogether, since you already specified the root device in 
the global section.

Also, you seem to have a SCSI or SATA drive (the output of lspci would 
help here). All SCSI low-level drivers are disabled in your config, so I 
guess you have a SATA drive. But, you have also disabled all the SATA 
drivers (it's the "Serial ATA (prod) and Parallel ATA (experimental) 
drivers" section). This could happen if you did "make oldconfig" using a 
pre-2.6.19 config file, because SATA drivers moved under CONFIG_ATA 
starting from 2.6.19. If so, do a "make menuconfig" and double check 
that all the drivers you need are compiled into your kernel.
