No idea what would cause this but here's a way to get in and compile a new
kernel and see if it works after that.
Put loadlin on a floppy disk, along with a kernel image file from the other
system and run it like this;
loadlin vmlinuz root/dev/sda? ro
Of course it would help to have the same nic in both systems (or recompile
on the working system a new kernel with support the the other's nic), to
get the new kernel in it. Of course you could always rar up a kernel
tree(file) and use floppies. =)
Good luck.
