Dead Kernel & Dead LILO

Dead Kernel & Dead LILO

HELP!!!   I recompiled the kernel with networking support, and it died
toward the end of the "make
zlilo" step.  I cant remember the exact error message, but I think it
was related to lilo, which is
done at the end of the make.  Now when booting, I get a message saying,
"run out of room  ----system
Halted-----" message.  
   An older kernel which worked at one time, gives the same message,
although I didnt save the older
System.map file which went with it, (my mistakeI guess this matters).
  I do not have a boot diskall I have is a MINIX boot and a rescue root
disk.  I can mount the hard
disk, however when I try to run lilo with the correct lilo.conf file, I
get a message that says, "Dont
know how to handle device 0x0100."  Ive tried a lot of different
things, to no avail.  At one time I
had a second hard drive which is now removed from the system, but is
also removed from the fstab file.
   What can I do without reinstalling the entire system???  Any help is
greatly appreciated.  
I have a:
Compaq DeskPro 6000 Pentium Pro-200
Adaptec 2940U
Jaz Drive internal SCSI
SCSI CD-ROM
3COM etherlink III
256 Mbyte Ram
