Hey,
I tried to upgrade my kernel (using rpm -Uvh kernel*.rpm instead of
kernel -i kernel*.rpm). Then I forgot to run lilo before rebooting, and
now linux can't boot. I have no other boot media besides the Linux
Mandrake CD (which does not have a rescue option). I have Windows 98 on
this

Assuming that your linux partition is on /dev/hda5
From the Mandrake CD copy this to your c:\ in windows 98
1. vmlinuz
2. loadlin.exe
Boot in msdos mode (do not use an msdos window)
Go to the root of c:\
loadlin.exe c:\vmlinuz boot=/dev/hda5 rw
I suggest next time read the corresponding howto.

2.2.9-27 to fix the 'file system busy' problem when shutting down,
