No access to accounts after a kernel upgrade

Greetings: I'm not a Linux pro, so please bear with me.

I am running Debian Lenny, and GNUCash 2.2.6. Recently a kernel update took
place to 2.6.32-bpo.5-486. Don't know why I allowed it, bad move, made pc
slow as a snail, so I replaced the kernel back to 2.6.26-2-486 (what I had
originally). Then I come to find that GNUCash is 'broken', not allowing me
access to my accounts (savings and checking registers).

The first error I ran across was a message telling me the program couldn't
obtain a lock on an .xac file - I'm the only user. Clicking the "open
anyway" option proceeds to a message informing me of Scheduled Transactions
(which I do have), where I'm then presented a main accounts screen... minus
the tabs for my savings and checking registers. Clicking on any of the named
accounts, such as Assets or Expenses causes the program to halt without any
notifications why.

Like I said, I'm not a Linux pro, but I've close to 3 years worth of data
entered into GNUCash, and while I have backups of all the data and logs, I
have no access and am quite upset about it.

Any suggestions to point me in the right direction would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.
Alan
