hello, you could block the 'linux-image-2.x.x.x.x' (Kernel Version which  
you like) in Synaptic via menu 'Packages'. in this way NO newer kernels  
will ever be installed. regarding invited security threats whith this  
method others have to tell, as i do not truly know what all comes with 'a  
kernel'.
about how to set a default kernel (for Grub) despite newer installed  
kernels, i do not know. René
