Did you keep the old kernel as backup listed under LILO? Do you have an (old
kernel) rescue disk? Can you boot off the CD (presuming you have that) and
redo a kernel, creating a boot floppy and new boot kernel (bypassing the rest
of the install)?
Assuming one of these routes gets you back into the system, go back and
reconfigure/recompile the kernel.
