I *think* I got it to work by playing with the File Systems -> Partition types -> Advanced Partition Selection when configuring the kernel source. I do remember it was a pain and not obvious why it wasn't working. Good luck.
Similar errors could be due to lack of partition type, lack of fs or lack of disk controller driver.
Does anybody understand what you should and should not select for partition types? I would have thought for a linux only, ext3 only sata drive box you could ensure none of them were selected and all would be well. Failing that if they were all modules that should work as well as they would only be loaded on demand? Any light you guys have to shed.
Not having the source handy, I think you at least need the PC-style partition support. If they are modules, they need to be available in your initramfs or initrd (and such is *required* if they are modular) to be available to get userspace up and running. It's simpler to just build-in the one type you need (in my experience, at least, there's only one type needed).
