The titchy linux kernel is already an Angstrom one, even for the ones with fastfpe and cpufreq discussed in another thread.

There is no need to reinstall everything, as long as the available kernel images can be flashed/installed normally and separately from the rest of the system. It's just like changing the kernel on desktops.

I don't understand if I have to reflash only the kernel or I have to change the kernel

Just reflash and the system will boot with the newly flashed kernel.

I don't know if this is relevant. During apt-get dist-upgrade to Lenny I noticed that many of the pcmcia stuff in Etch are treated as obsolete and are either replaced or removed during upgrade.
