Damn it's messed up. You could try to boot from a rescue disk with a kernel
equal to the world setup, that way you can mount your existing root and
probably use your base again (depends until where the copying went).
After that you can get the sources (get the right branch, eg 4-5-STABLE)
and compile them, keeping lots of data.

Well, ok, but then again that shouldn't be neccesary, it's just the way
you want to do it, keeping the box will probably cost a bit more effort
then reinstalling it.
