No, of couse, because as it happens with any "stable" release, Lenny did
not provide a kernel upgrade (other than patches) from their usual repo.
I don't recall what was the last backported kernel available for Lenny
but this would be the easier solution.

You can also get the sources for 2.6.32/2.6.34 from kernel.org and
manually compile a new kernel. I usually have to build "express" kernels
by this way for my wheezy and these steps have been working very well:
8.6.1. Kernel Image Management
