Assuming you want to stop kernel upgrades, just pay attention when 
you're upgrading and don't allow the new kernels to install.  How you do 
that depends on which package tool you're using.

You can also uninstall old kernels at the same time if you tell the 
package tool to.  (I love the "WARNING, you're about to remove the 
running kernel message".  (But don't do that unless you're sure the new 
one will work.))

Be warned though, this is Linux.  If your tools tell you that to upgrade 
they will remove something you really care about, then they will and 
you'll be unhappy.  So you should pay attention to what they are doing 
and ensure you approve.  The Ubuntu guys try to keep that from happening 
but they aren't omniscient.  Help them out by supervising your tools.
