So it seems your problems were far more than not getting a GENERIC 
kernel...
I guess this is the machine where you merged the changes of the conf files?

If you do have a backup, reboot into single user mode and do something 
like:

mount -o rw /

This will remount you root partition read-write and you will be able to 
copy the backup back.
