Ubuntu kernel downgrade

Question

Is there a way to downgrade Ubuntu kernel version by using apt-get package management tools? Is there Ubuntu repository with older kernel versions available?

There are HW specific reasons I need to do this. I can do all this hard way, but to keep things simple I would like to know if this can be done with above mentioned steps.

There is a PPA for that (ie you just add a line to your apt sources.list). This lets you install any recent mainline kernel. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
