Are you sure that the kernel would be the problem? You can try to
install a lower version of the kernel, it is not too difficult but if
you aptitude install linux-image-2.6 you get the latest available
package for that series of kernels, which is currently 2.6.27
something.

If you already have Hardy, why not try and dist-upgrade it to
Intrepid, using the available recommended methods to do so? I did
that, and after a few pitfalls I was able to recover, and get into
Intrepid where sound works (the Amarok-neon problem's been fixed) and
nvidia works a hell of a lot better than it did in Hardy.
