This looks to me like lilo did not get run. During install did you
run the process called "Make system bootable"? That install lilo.
You have a choice to install it in MBR or on the /boot or /
partitions. I suggest running lilo as root once booted and see if
that fixes your booting issue. You will need to edit /etc/lilo.conf
to add the new kernel as well, and then run lilo after editing.
