I have just finished the reverse procedure: changing the Warty kernel to 
use the one in Hoary. After studying comments on this newsgroup, I 
decided the easiest way was to use Synaptic to install 
linux-image-2.6.10-5-386, which installs all the necessary files. In 
your case, you'd install linux-image-2.6.8.1-3-386 or 
linux-image-2.6.8.1-4-386. This will also rewrite grub, so you may need 
to amend /boot/grub/menu.lst.
