If during boot up you should be able to select any kernel that you want. 
But it doesn't sound like you just need the different kernel. It sounds 
like you are saying that you also need to use older versions of some 
other packages. Booting the old kernel will not accomplish this.
Did you upgrade to one of the Intrepid betas or just the most up to date 
version of Hardy?

To be or not to be, that is the question
                2b || !2b
(0b10)*(0b1100010) || !(0b10)*(0b1100010)
        0b11000100 || !0b11000100
        0b11000100 || 0b00111011
               0b11111111
        255, that is the answer.
