My understanding is that the customized kernel is the exact reason for
choosing make oldconfig.
As for the problem you are getting, I would guess that you built the
support for the root file system as a module. Problem is that the module
may not load before mounting the file system. I would start with a check
there. For troubleshooting you may want to build every file system
directly into the kernel. If it works, start dropping the ones you don't
need (or think you don't).
