If you did a boot disk when you instaled the Linux, first of all , try to run
the system with it.
Have a look to your lilo.conf at /etc, you could see a line as:
image=/boot/vmlinuz
Look for a file , maybe at /boot directory called vmlinuz.old or something
like that at the same directory, sometimes when you recompile the kernel if
you select the option that modify the lilo.conf , the old image is changed
but not lossed.
you'll have got the new image of the kernel. Change the name of the new
kernel's image (i.e. mv vmlinuz
/boot/vmlinuz.new) an do the same with the old image (ie. mv vmlinuz.old
/boot/vmlinuz). Restart the system, this time without the disk, It could
works.
If you didn't a boot disk when you installed your system , I'm afraid you'll
have to install again your system. Maybe someone can give you another
solution.
Good luck.
