English is not my native language;excuse if spelling mistakes
Chances are you built the kernel incorrectly which caused a problem.
A good tip you should follow is to recycle an existing kernel config such as the Slackware -Current kernel, and run make oldconfig again it or make olddefconfig.

Sorry got your setup confused.
So LFS is on its own partition "sda3".
Get a copy of a distro "Debain,Slack what ever!" and run it as a live cd/usb.
Then mount your LFS system (sda1) and chroot into it, Rebuild the kernel

Thank u....i have a debian-live-7.6.0-amd64-xfce-desktop.iso.is this live iso run on vmware...?
did u mean install this iso into vmware? sorry i didn't understand what u say...
No live cd can be run from the cd they dont install anything, put cd in and boot from cd/dvd drive follow on screen to run as LIVE CD not install,
That will run the OS entirely from cd
