Well, you're in a bit of a pickle. For next time, its a good idea to
make a separate LILO entry for the new kernel so you can easily revert
back to the old one if things go wrong. I would suggest downloading the
Debian rescue disk again (or tomsrtbt), then use that to revert back to
the old kernel (ie mount drive, copy old kernel back to vmlinuz, etc).
