You can try:

LILO boot: linux emergency

That should load fewer things that single user mode...

If that doesn't work, you will have to boot from the cd and type
"linux rescue", act like you are going to upgrade the system, and go
until you get to the second stage install. Then you will have a prompt
on alt-f2 that you can use to get in and modify your
/etc/conf.modules. ;)
