Well, it sounds like your new kernel can't mount ext3 drives, or is it that you've left out SCSI support? First I would try booting from the emergency disk, mount the root partition and modify /etc/fstab back to ext2 again. ext3 partitions are backwards compatible and will load as ext2. If that doesn't work, I would next try using the emergency disk to boot the root system you already have by giving the lilo prompt on the emergency disk a boot command like: boot> linux root=/dev/sda1 HTH.
