Get a Debian install CD. Boot with it. When you get the boot prompt,
type rescue root=<your root block device>. If you don't have the
modules for the rescue kernel on the CD (usually the default kernel
that CD installs), prepared to get spewed with error messages. Use
Ctrl-L to clear them in bash and most other programs, if you're in
make menuconfig, change menus or toggle one of the options and set it back.
Try running LILO again. If that doesn't work, try bulding the kernel
again.
