Rolling back kernel

    What's the best way to roll back to a previous kernel?  The current 
2.6.20-1.2944.fc6 is causing one of my servers to lock up once every 24 
hours, something that did not happen with the previous kernel (2933).  
If I simply try to install 2933 right now, it tells me there are two 
files that conflict with the current installation of 2944:

        file /usr/include/linux/eventpoll.h from install of 
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 conflicts with file from package 
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6
        file /usr/include/linux/if_packet.h from install of 
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2933.fc6 conflicts with file from package 
kernel-headers-2.6.20-1.2944.fc6

    Can I ignore those errors and force the installation, fix grub.conf 
and reboot (then remove 2944) ?
