Sounds to me like sysinstall is trying to make the devices. This means they 
aren't there. You're using a RELEASE kernel, so the device numbers shouldn't 
be different, but you never know. You might want to try creating the nodes 
before hand, sothat sysinstall doesn't have to:

 cd /dev && sh MAKEDEV all

Now try sysinstall again.

You might also not have configured the appropriate devices in your kernel, I 
notice you have built a custom one. Try booting with /kernel.GENERIC and see 
if the problem persists.

If that doesn't help, try using CVSup to upgrade to the latest 4-STABLE and 
compile a new kernel.
