kernel panic after booting with new kernel 2.6.11.9

[Nick Gawronski]

Hi, well my ide controler should have been in the .config file as it would 
been in the normal fc3 configuration file for the kernel and that is the 
file I used to mygreat to the new version just changed the settings for 
speakup.  How can I boot into my system on a rescue disk or something to fix 
the problem or at least get my system booted so I can fix the problem?  I 
still have the cds of fedora core 3 that I got from cheap bytes.  bye
