Seeing as you've got two kernels, it's moderately easy.  You won't have
to fight the system to replace kernel-2.6.19-1.2911 586 with the 686
version of the same kernel-2.6.19-1.2911.

One way is to reboot and use the old kernel.  Uninstall the newer one.
Download and install the 686 version of the latest one or two kernels
(two gives you some options to play with, just in case).  Then you can
reboot with the latest 686 kernel, and if things work fine, remove the
old 586 one.
