Don't unload. Assuming that you use loader, let the system proceed to
the count-down and press any key except <ENTER>. Then enter the command:
boot kernel.old
If you want to boot with options, place them at the end. (E.g. "boot
kernel.old -s"
Otherwise you get into issues with module/kernel comparability.
