    I had the excactly same problem in installing 2.6.4.

    I had to do two things. After making .config I had to edit .config and
    replace CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m to CONFIG_EXT3_FS=y.

    Second I had to: mkdir /sys .
    Then edit /etc/rc.sysinit.
    After the line: 'action $"Mounting proc filesystem: " mount -n -t proc
    /proc /proc ' adding:
    'action $"Mounting proc filesystem: " mount -n -t sysfs /sys /sys'

    In my experience the same problem occured both in 2.6.3 and 2.6.4. I
    installed on rh8.
