Second question: the guide just says "make modifications to the system and regenerate the initramfs" because you can do pretty much everything there. But... what should I do? How do I flash a working kernel? This is what I thought: 1. Flash the kernel and initram contained in the Debian installer - how? Will it work? 2. Flash the last working kernel of Debian testing - how? Or, better, I know how: I have to wget the .deb files of the working kernel and initram and install them with dpkg, then launch flash-kernel (with special parameters?). But how can I find these .deb files? can I look in the apt cache directory to see if they're still there? Can I download them from the Debian repositories? Does Debian keep a copy of older kernels/deb in general online? I've never found them. 3. What else?

Sorry for the late reply. Now Ian already has done the work and answered most of your questions I guess.
That is how I got the last working kernel up again: - fortunately I'm not immediately purging an old working linux-image so there were some left in /boot - I moved (or did I purge (via apt) the non-working kernel?) the non-working kernel to a subdirectory /boot/xxx The non-working kernel consists of config-3.12-1-kirkwood, initrd.img-3.12-1-kirkwood, System.map-3.12-1-kirkwood and vmlinuz-3.12-1-kirkwood - after that I replaced the symbolic links /boot/initrd.img and /boot/vmlinuz to point to the old working kernel - then flash-kernel - and reboot Everything was again in right place - to answer your question below.
Four: if all of the above goes right, when I reboot will I have my system back as it was before the problem? With all my data/programs/system accessible as it was before? Or there will be other steps to perform before I can go back using it?
