Hmmm.  Man, it's been a long time since I used 2.1.  Well, try booting
the CD and see if there's a "rescue" mode on it.  If there is, select it
and let the system come up and mount your old system at /mnt/sysimage.

Yes, it should be.

Can you post the exact panic message and the last 10 or so messages

be finding the ramdisk image, which is reasonably easy to fix.
