Ouch! It really wasn't necessary to reinstall. Debian has lots of kernel packages available, including some for special needs. All the kernel image package names start with 'kernel-image'.
Just fire up Synaptic, click the "Search" button, type in "kernel-image", and then pick whatever kernel image you want to switch to or upgrade to.
You can also use the kernel compilation tool to custom-build a kernel to suit your exact needs, but you only need to do that if one of the available kernels doesn't meet your needs.
