First of all, sincere thanks to those who replied to my post so quickly.

The problem I'm facing is that for some reason, even though I made a
backup of my vmlinuz by naming it vmlinuz.OLD and made necessary changes
to lilo.conf and ran it, I get the same error message when I boot into
that as I do when I boot into vmlinuz (the 2.2.1 recompiled kernel).  ie:

Partition check:
 request_module[ide-disk]: Root fs not mounted
 hdb: driver not present
 VFS: Cannot open root device 03:41
 Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount fs on 03:41

I have no idea why this happens, but can someone suggest a solution to
this or am I doomed to re-install everything?  Is it possible to boot into
my linux box as a single user and recompile the kernel, and if so, what's
the command to do so again or am I way off?  Thank you in advance.

Best,

Steve
