Hmmm... Not sure if you can still do this with 5.2 or not but
you might try booting your rescue (or install) disk and then boot the
kernel with "linux root=/dev/sda1" command. That will boot the kernel
from the floppy but use /dev/sda1 as your root file system. As long
as your problems are not in a loaded module, you should be back in
business and can rebuild that kernel image. I haven't had to do this
since 4.x days, so I can't say I've actually done this with 5.2.
