You have to first identify your current running kernel:

uname -a

Then, identify the previous kernel you were running.

ls /var/cache/apt/archives|grep linux-image 

....Choose from the output which one that is and install it:

dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.24_whatever.deb

Then uninstall the current running kernel:

apt-get remove linux-image-current_running_kernel.deb

Then reboot.

Just make sure you don't have no errors on the install of the previous kernel, 
otherwise you'll have an unbootable system.

You could just re-install the older kernel and not uninstall the current 
running kernel, grub will probably come up with a list you can choose from.
