How about puting the correct kernel on a USB key, and using a LiveCD to 
boot.  You can mount the other hard drive and chroot to to the hard 
drive.  Then you should be able to install the correct kernel.

Fwiw, when upgrading a kernel it is important to _install_ the new 
kernel instead of upgrade it.  Then you need to be sure grub can get to 
both kernels so you can save yourself from disaster.
