You can find old versions of the Ubuntu kernel at:
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux

Click on a version:
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.27-1.2

Click on a build for the right architecture (say i386):
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/2.6.27-1.2/+build/699407

Then find the linux-image-xxx-generic package:
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/i386/linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic/2.6.27-1.2

and click the link to download the .deb:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17040869/linux-image-2.6.27-1-generic_2.6.27-1.2_i386.deb

It would help if someone could narrow down the regression to a specific
version by thoroughly testing each one.
