Sorry for point 3 - I just wasn't able to stop myself for writing it, after seeing totally unrelated messages in Your report - they appear everytime You open backupmenu, without those two reported (unnecessary) files on device. So You were basically reporting messages from backupmenu starting process, as a reason for unbootable device

To be honest, error messages - that you get, while trying to restore - would be much more useful.

As for Your question - reflashing, installing kp48 + backupmenu, and restoring backup after that, should do the trick. Ho ever, posting here errors that You get during backup restoration may be sane thing to do - it's possible, that Your backup is corrupted (not related to fact that you're trying to restore over wrong kernel).

To be honest, I would post errors here, then, immediately, try proposed solution - it's a chance that You'll fix everything without waiting for answer. At the same time, *if* Your backup is corrupted, You're doomed to start form scratch (reflash, manually installing) anyway. Ho ever, keep in mind that I've not seen any case, where wrong backup happen "out of the blue sky" - backuping algorithm is quite reliable, and if it finished backuping without errors + announced that it was completed successfully, it is probably some kind of user fault (pure assumption here, thought).

Anyway, please report here about results - it's interesting.
