Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(3,5)

These sort of errors (the kernel booted, but failed to mount the root fs) usually mean either that you didn't specify root= (but you have shown us that part), or that the kernel doesn't recognize the filesystem. You said that you used the kernel from the live CD, which probably has a lot of things as modules. Which filesystem are you using for hda5, and is it built-in to the .config ?
