I did the same thing once with RH6.0. To fix it, I got out my Linux CD (the same one I originally installed from) and "upgraded" to the same version. I didn't repartition anything or change any packages. About the only thing the upgrade process did was reinstall LILO - no data loss or anything. Good Luck.
