After upgrading to kernel 2.6.7, my system does not bring up the lilo or grub menu. I was
using lilo initially but tried setting up grub, but it seems the problem is unrelated
with either of them. After the BIOS transfers the control, the screen displays a message
"searching for the boot record : ok"  and then the letter "L" and then a series of number
40 (40 40 40 ..). I don't know what is going on. I can boot from the floppy using
kernel-2.2.20.

lilo is still partially installed. You might want to "apt-get remove lilo" followed by "grub-install", but as I've only done it a time or two, I'm not sure of the exact steps, so you might want to wait to hear from others first.
