If you have apt, apt-get install kernel-image-2.0.36

If you don't have apt, you can download the deb file manually and install
it. Or you can get apt (i'd recommend the latter)

Do you have a /etc/nologin file? If so, that's probably what's preventing
non-root users from logging in. Why it's still around after the system
finishes booting, i don't know.
