To boot the kernel your new kernel must have support compiled into the kernel for cloop fs or the cloop fs an an initrd.
One final question, where is the config on the 5.1.1 kernel stored?
Thanks in advance.
I follow the knoppix way:

aufs & cloop as a module placed in KNOPPIX/modules/
the initrt is minirt.gz, you have to gunzip it, mount and change the modules with the new ones.

I cand send you my new .config.

For aufs I had to patch the kernel with sec_perm-2.6.24.patch (I did only this pacth).

Aufs is version 20071217
