Cool.  

The file you are looking for is probably /etc/grub.conf

the line is "default=N" where N probably=1.  Set it to 0, and then the
grub bootloader should select the first kernel.  (which is probably the
18.9)

If you used apt-get it will leave the current kernel as default, but I
was under the impression that up2date switched _everything_ for you.  Am
I wrong?
