Use the kernel-image-2.0.35 package which should fix your problems.

2.1.x and 2.0.9x don't play well together. If you want to run 2.1.x you
should use 2.0.100.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
