Did you take a look? We can't look into your system.

You are joking? If you are sure the new kernel will boot, remove
the old one. Or move /boot to /. Just update /etc/fstab,
/etc/lilo.conf and rerun 'lilo -v'.

If you like RH, ES would be the way to go, I don't expect those
hits are a private homepage.;) There is www.whiteboxlinux.org,
based on ES 3.0, but then you need to compile patches, (src.rpm)
are available from RH, dunno if they work on this distro, albeit
likely. With the yearly fee to RH, you can access patches/extras
from rhn or with up2date. Support is also available(included?)
with ES 3.0.

Debian should be fine for you too, the differences are only
minimal, if you really know how your RH systems works, it has a
powerful package system 'apt' "Advanced Package Tool", you need
to get used to.

Good luck
