before writing the new kernel to disk or running lilo on it go into
/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot or some similar path (can't remember exactly
what it is at the moment) and find the zImage file. then do a `rdev
zImage' to see which partition the kernel is pointing to. if it is
pointing to the wrong partition then point it to the correct one. i'm not
sure of the syntax as i've never had this problem before but `man rdev'
should help you out.
after correcting that do a `dd if=zImage of=/dev/fd0 ; sync' and try
booting again.
good luck.
