             That will not work with grub2. I think the simple way is 
the best. If the latest new kernel is causing a problem, when you reboot 
choose to use the kernel that works for you. Save all kernels since you 
may get another next week. Ubuntu is very free with new kernels, 
generally to fix a problem with the current kernel
