Notes

  • Just now I updated kernel version to Linux 3.13.0-39-generic, however, under this kernel, Nvidia's driver cannot be loaded, your modprobe may report FATAL: Module nvidia not found (as I'm writing, I installed the latest driver 340.32). Therefore I have to switch down to Linux 3.13.0-37-generic. You should do following in order to perform this action:
    1. Reboot your system, press Shift key while it's booting up. Choose Advanced Options and select a older version, in my case, I chose Linux 3.13.0-37-generic. You now should be able to use this old kernel.

    2. Open a terminal and start to edit grub's config.

      $ sudo /etc/default/grub
      
    3. Change DEFAULT_GRUB=0 to DEFAULT_GRUB=saved. And save the modification.

    4. In you terminal, execute

      $ sudo grub-set-default "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.13.0-37-generic"
      
    5. And execute

      $ sudo update-grub
      
    6. However, this will not actually update your boot kernel becaue "Ubuntu, with Linux 3.13.0-37-generic" is acutally old title. update-grub actually will give you the correct title for the choice. So re-execute grub-set-default again with correct title and then execute update-grub.

    7. Now reboot your machine, you should be able to boot your machine from old kernel version.
