After doing a disk check you could do this :
Do you have a healthy /etc/inittab? Does your kernel use initrd.img? Is
it healthy?
Maybe you could boot your system with a rescue-system (using nearby
kernel version) making "chroot /mnt/yourbootdrive /bin/bash". There you
could try rerun lilo. Next you could look inside chroot how much of your
system is damaged. Maybe you would be able to use commandline dpkg to
overwrite/reinstall defective packages. But that looks like much work.
Consider backing up your data and reinstalling. It may be less effort.
