You can always from your install support (cd or netinstall lifimage) whic=
h,
in the install menu (near the end), let you access to a shell.
You can create now a temp dir as /mnt/MYBOOT and mount your sd boot disk.=

If your old kernel still stand in /mnt/MYBOOT[/boot], note its name and
put it in the boot parameter (interupt the boot and answer y to interact
with ipl then 0 in palo bootprompt). After the boot completion you would
certainly have to reinstall old kernel package.

If your old kernel is not any more their, try to make the pkg available
on any ftp server, setup your network interface thanks to the above menti=
oned
"install menu" to access your ftp server. Mount also your boot disk in th=
e
/mnt/MYBOOT copy the kernel pkg into /mnt/MYBOOT/var/tmp (ie somewhere on=

your sd). Now 'chroot /mnt/MYBOOT' and dpkg -i /var/tmp/kernel-....deb.
Do not forget to exit chroot and umount /mnt/MYBOOT to be sure that fs we=
re
sync before reboot.
