Hello I am currently running kernel 2.6.16.21-0-13 and would like to downgrade to the original kernel that came with my install as I am having problems with my nvidia drivers not working with my games. My games will not go full screen unless I run them at the same resolution as my monitor, very weird. My wifes computer sitting right next to mine has that kernel and hers works fine. They are almost identical computers, thanks.
If the new kernel was installed as part of the normal, say, YOU update then when yo boot there should be an entry in the grub menu along the lines of "Previous Kernel" so select this entry to boot with the old kernel. The old kernel is not removed when the new one is installed by the upgrading packages. However, if you upgraded using your own devices then it is a different kettle of fish in which case someone else who knows how to downgrade will have to provide the answer. Incidentally, did you reinstall the nVidia driver (for it recompile the new driver to match the new kernel) after the kernel was upgraded? You need to do this.
