Hi Tracy,
Sorry to here about your catastrophy :-(
According to the /usr/doc/user.tex
\item[\raw{LIL-}] The descriptor table is corrupt. This can either be
caused
by a geometry mismatch or by moving \path{/boot/map} without running
the map installer.
Apparently, you didn't run lilo after the make of your kernel. Also the
kernel zImage or bzImage must be copied to the directory where lilo
.conf is looking for it along with the new map file.
I also have done the same thing in the past, but luckly I had a boot
disk handy so I could reboot the machine. One of the many times that I
became brain dead and clueless1
Hope You Have a better day
LeRoy
