Nothing stands out. I didn't find anything that seemed to relate to the cd. 
There are some differences I'm not sure about. In General Setup the stock 
kernel has:
CONFIG_POSIX_MSQUEUE=y
CONFIG_AUDIT=y

I didn't set them for the custom kernel. Also, the stock kernel has the 
following from Kernel Hacking:
CONFIG_MAGIC_SYSRQ=y
CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS=y
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_DETECT_SOFTLOCKUP=y

I said no to these for the custom kernel. Could there be something in 
CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS that I need?
