While I am no kernel guru:

To bring back the original kernel try to reinstall the kernel image that
came with your distribution with 
# dpkg --install kernel-image???.deb

Did you use make-kpkg from the kernel-package to build your kernel? If not,
please do so. Read /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz 

It makes no difference what kind of config method you use. If you have X, use
make xconfig. To get sound working you might have to setup your card with
isapnp at boot time if it is a plug'n'play card. Refer to the SOUND-Howto
for this.
