2.2.5 is fairly old, and I'd recommend an upgrade, but what I said still
applies. You don't have to recompile.

Find a boot disk :) My favorite is tomsrtbt which you can find at
http://www.toms.net/rb/. I believe that you can write that to a floppy
using rawrite under DOS. You might also be able to use the Red Hat
installation CD to boot your system, but I don't remember if this is still
the case.

Your vmlinuz files should be in /boot, no? Unless you uninstalled the
kernel rpm, you should be able to edit /etc/lilo.conf, and restore the
original kernel config (image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15). While you're doing
that, you can set up your CDRW at the same time. Try this:
cd /boot
mkinitrd --with=ide-scsi initrd-2.2.5-15.img 2.2.5-15
Then, in lilo.conf, enter the lines:
append="hdc=ide-scsi"
initrd=/boot/initrd-2.2.5-15.img
under the image= line. Assuming that /dev/hdc is your CDRW, that should
work. Run "lilo" and reboot. Your CDRW should now be using the ide-scsi
driver.
