Well, I got it to boot. Now that it's up, I can see what the problem was/is. There are no disk device files in /dev. I created the appropriate nodes and things went much better. The problem was that CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 was on I just closed up the chassis and it will ship in the morning

One more interesting tidbit: When it boots, I can see that VFS was able to mount ROOT on device 8:3. So, it doesn't seem to be hardware or driver related. Looks like something with the filesystem? fsck.ext2 is the only thing complaining. However, when I boot from CD, I can mount it just fine
