Is it possible to downgrade 11.10 kernel version to 2.6?

Question

Is it possible to downgrade the kernel (oneiric) to the version used by 10.10?

Answer 1

Seeing that your mean reason is overheating, I'd suggest installing Precise Pangolin A1.

It is the current development version, but seeing it's for an LTS version it will mainly see bug fixes and ironing out the flaws. I've heard from reliable people that the A1 (or Alpha 1) is seeing great improvements in terms of power management.
