    Open Package Manager (Synaptic) and see if that kernel is still present in repository:

    linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic-pae

    If exists you can install it, along with newest kernel, and at boot time you can select "Previous Linux versions", then the 2.6.32-25 version. You could also completely delete the 2.6.32-34, however it's not a good idea as it's supposed to be better than old.

    If the kernel is not in repository, the installation procedure is more difficult, and I would not go that way.
