  aptitude and synaptic will both just call dpkg to reinstall the
kernel, so I doubt that this is the cause of his problems.

  However, there is a difference between what you did and what he did:
I didn't see the kernel in the list of packages he reinstalled.  It
might be worthwhile for him to try reinstalling the kernel itself:

    aptitude reinstall linux-image-2.6.26-1-686

  (I don't know how to get his sound back, but that should fix some of
the weirdness about which modules are available)
