Your previous kernel *should* still be installed.  It is never a good
idea to install new kernels without leaving a previous working kernel
ready to go, which is why your update programs do an rpm -i (install)
rather than rpm -U (upgrade).  If you installed the kernel with either
up2date or yum you should still have the kernel.  Check with rpm -q
kernel.  Your /boot/grub/grub.conf selects which kernel will be used by
default, make sure it is choosing the kernel that works (not the .624),
the 'default' kernel is zero indexed, choosing default=0 means the first
kernel listed in the config.

If you do not have a previous kernel installed, you'll need to download
the rpm directly from one of the mirrors (hopefully you can find one
with the 610 kernel) and install it with rpm -i.
