cannot access machine after apt-get dist-upgrade

Hi all,

I've just decided to upgrade my Sarge server to Etch, which the process
itself seemed to go very smoothly, but now after rebooting it does not
bring up my eth0 and eth1, nor can I input any on the keyboard. In
other words, I'm now locked out.

The last thing I did was installed kernel/linux image 2.6.18 (with SMP),
so I have both the original 2.6.8 as well as the new 2.6.18. Now,
regardless of which kernel I boot, I'm locked out. Is there a way I can
still access my machine? I'll like to avoid having to completely
re-install from fresh.

Thanks in advance,
Robert
