Then your modules got loaded properly, or they were bad before too.
No /usr stuff is needed for the loading of the modules, as you suggest
above.

Under X, you need to type Control_Alt_F1 etc.
bascially, there are several ways to proceed.
If you boot via LILO, then the best thing to do is to type at the
lilo prompt:
linux emergency
(replacing linux for your kernel image, press TAB).
Then none of the startup scripts are executed, and you can try to go
through the bootup manually, and checking what went wrong.
If the above doesn't work (your' not using lilo, for example), just
boot from a floppy, and try to mount your root filesystem on /mnt,
cd to it and examine what may have gone wrong, possibly correcting
it.
