Hi Pedro , it seems a symlink from zImage to your old kernelimage
zImage-2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh36.9 is still available.

For instance, you can boot your ipaq from bootloader prompt with:

boot jffs2 /boot/zImage-2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh36.11 (or what ever your new kernel
is, you can recognice this with ls /boot)

and then correct the symlink in your /boot directory.
