Are you sure ext[234] is compiled statically into the kernel in  
this .config?
Also the drivers for the EIDE / SATA controller.

The liveCD configs I've seen generally store these as modules. I, too,  
usually take a copy of the config from a working LiveCD when I compile  
a kernel, but I *always* have to change something.
