Use whatever package management tool you normally use. If you are
running Etch then you will have installed non-etch kernels (e.g.
2.6.22-2-686, 2.6.22-3-686 which are not Etch). Ensure that you keep
your current kernel and the last one that ran well. I suppose that if
you are using Xen then you need a xen kernel. If you need vserver...
etc.
