You can just remove the kernel package using dpkg or apt, but then, as far as 
I know you will have to edit your lilo.conf to point to the kernel that you 
want to boot with and then run lilo (ie as root enter the command lilo). I 
generally use the command dpkg --purge "package name" in order to remove any 
configuration files for the package as well.
