Sounds like it found some kernel and just booted it. Unfortunately,
maybe the kernel/modules don't match, or you forget to compile in a
required driver (or make an initrd)?
Did you leave your old kernel in there too? And you should always
modify the kernel Makefile so you have a different tag than the old
one so you can have multiple sets of modules.
That way, even if you forget to modify lilo.conf and run lilo, you
can still boot your old kernel. Never overwrite it nor reuse the
same tag (i.e. forget to modify the Makefile) when building a new
one.
