Thank you both Neil Bothwick andAlan McKinnon for the great help.
Got this one working now. Still many features arn't working yet such as
alsa and wifi but I think I will make it now.
The driver I needed seem to be AHCI SATA. Was rather difficult to
identify that that is the right driver because lspci states:
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA
Controller (rev 04)
and you can't find 82801 in .config
Also it seems to me that the driver should be statically loaded and not
as a module (which now makes sense unless I could have changed things in
modules.conf or similar).
May I suggest/encourage people to write summaries (such as was a custom
in sun managers mailing list (sun.unc.edu?) so other people can learn
and save time?

Upgrade is from 2.6.17-r8
OK, you seem to have run into the "Lets rip IDE out of the kernel and
replace it with ATA" thing that happened in 2.6.18...
In menuconfig , under Drivers, there's a menu a little bit below the
IDE?MFM stuff. It's called SATA/PATA or similar. You will find
appropriate settings for your hardware there. I can't elabortae as I
don't know what you have, but you disk settings seem to be IDE
Attached the panic message:
VFS: cannot open root device sda1 or unknown block (0,0)
please append a correct "root=" boot option.
Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs on unknown -
block (0,0)
Please, please, please always quote the correct error messages and leave
your personal evaluation out of it. See how the above says absolutely
nothing about ext3? But your original post was all about that, and
without the actual error and .config, we would have spent hours trying
to get your fs working, when in fault it is not faulty...
