Go to System->Administration->Synaptic Package Manager
in Synaptic, search for linux-image
Mark the old one for complete removal. (this will autoselect linux-restricted-modules and linux-ubuntu-modules for that version as well)
select apply. The old option will be removed automagically by update-grub when the uninstallation ends.
Optionally, you can just leave them there until they get way too much and delete them (instead of doing it every time your kernel updates)

Hi,

In the upgrades, there was surely a new kernel. Ubuntu retains the precedent for allowing you to restart with the old kernel if the new cause problem.

You have two choices:

1. Remove the old kernel (if the new works well) via Synaptic.

2. Editing /boot/grub/menu.lst file for not display the menu and automatically take the latest version of the kernel. This requires putting the option «hiddenmenu» in the file (see comments in the file).
