While playing with the graphic card drivers, I broke up the system and now I've a kernel panic with not syncing error. I did backup the system with mondorescue but I forgot to write the iso image files to the DVD rom. Can I burn the ISO file in rescue mode or in CentOS livecd environment? Already tried in the LiveCD env, but, as soon as I eject the live CD to put a blank DVD, the system halts ! Are there any other options available? Please advise.

What exactly were you playing with? It sounds like you may of screwed up your initrd. Is there an older kernel installed that you can boot with?
If the initrd is the issue you should be able to boot using a rescue cd and rebuild it using the mkinitrd command (back up the existing one just in case, it's in /boot/`uname -r`.img
