Hi,
I was trying to upgrade the kernel from root terminal. Additional kernels like kernel-rt and kernel-live etc got installed.
Now my zenwalk OS itself is not booted.

How to start my linux OS and re configure the kernel.

Is your bootloader (lilo) updated to point to the new kernel to boot??

I am not aware what has happened while the additional kernels got installed.

Now the OS is not booted (started).

if you have your zenwalk install cd put that in and boot.
at first prompt issue
Code:
ata root=/dev/sda1 rdinit=ro zenwalk 3
(change sda1 to where your zenwalk install is)
now login as root and issue
Code:
lilo -v
and reboot
