Isn't that something you'd add to '/etc/modules.conf'? I might be

Just as important, have you mounted the CD-ROM?

I had this happen once. If you made the custom boot disk when it
prompted you, try booting with it, and then running 'lilo' at the prompt
after you log in. Depending on the results you get from that, you may
have to edit '/etc/lilo.conf' to get it working.

You'll need to edit /etc/lilo.conf to reflect the name of the kernel you
are upgrading to. Look for the 'image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.9-19mdk' line

reflect what the new kernel is called.
