In that case, I think that either you have the filesystem on sda1
defined as a module ('M' instead of 'Y' in .config for whichever of
ext2,3,4 you used), or the disk controller is missing or set as a
module. Distros use an initrd to load modules so that they can mount
the real root filesystem, LFS doesn't.
If the filesystem is ok, look under Device Drivers -> Serial ATA
and Parallel ATA drivers. On the host system (ubuntu in this case)
use lsmod to check which of these drivers are loaded as modules.
