To make it more interesting, recent ubuntu versions have switched from grub to grub2. Editing the config to change the default kernel image has changed, as has the name and location of the input file. If you're on lucid, then you should have grub2. Try 'man grub2', as a quick test. Also 'ls /etc/default/grub'. With grub2 confirmed, the method is to edit /etc/default/grub , then run update-grub, which updates /boot/grub/grub.cfg There are more details here than you'd perhaps like: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 Cutting to the chase, there's HOWTO guff here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#/etc/default/grub under the heading "Configuring GRUB 2", and there's even mention of a GUI way to do it, if you're into that sort of thing. OR: If you have the older grub, then there's 98 pages of manual here: www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.pdf (ISTR that the config file had another name (menu.lst?), and could be edited directly. It's a while since I've used it, so details are fading from DRAM.) Hopefully that get's you well under way. (It's a lot easier than it looks.)
