The configs look good.

Here I'd suggest you start L4Linux with init=/bin/sh to not start the
system right away but check whether devices are ok. For the block
device, there must be some output about partitions for example (also
make sure CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION is enabled), like this:
 mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address b368
 mmcblk0: mmc0:b368 USD   3.72 GiB
  mmcblk0: p1 p2
You can also check /proc/partitions (mount it before).

For the network, there must be a network device. Check that with
ifconfig -a whether there's an eth0.

Likely because the driver that some issues finishing its initialization?
Did it run its probe function to the point where it does return 0?

No, you're on the way.
