You reinstalled?!
I'm assuming you've reformatted your disks.
Is your disk over 1G, if so does the kernel image lie inside the first
gig?
Can you boot it from a floppy
or cdrom or network using the boot parameter; linux single root=/dev/"your
root partition" , if that doesn't work try replacing single with
-b.
If that works, check your filesystem with e2fsck.
If none of the above helps I hope you backed up.
Good luck I'll be away for a week so I won't be able to help any further.
