Boot the install cd and take a look at lilo.conf. Did you change from vmlinuz-huge to vmlinuz-generic and forget to create a initrd via mkinitrd? See also

Looks the boot loader can't read or find you /boot location.

Thank you very much for the tip and the link kindbeowulf- it helped me a lot!
I have modyfied my lilo.conf and pointed it into rootfs and my box booted just fine
