Debian, for the most part, is kernel independent. There might be some software that requires at least some minimum kernel version, you'd have to look in the Packages file to see, but if there is you didn't install it. potato does come with kernel source up to 2.2.14 I believe, and kernel images to 2.2.13 (last time I looked) and so you can simply install one of them, or download the kernel straight from a kernel.org mirror and compile your own.
