reverse? no, there isn't. However if you 'ls /boot' you should see your 
old kernel still there, just set up lilo to boot it. Normally it would 
be available as an option in LILO anyway, probably 'linux-old' or 
something. Of course if they did something weird, nothing's guaranteed.

What is the controller, what version of Debian are you running, and what 
version (at least major version) was the original kernel? I doubt a SCSI 
controller has just gone unsupported but in some cases module names 
change etc.
