Depending on how often you remove old kernels, you may have a choice of kernel versions - the most recent at the top.
Selecting an older kernel will attempt to boot the full system using that kernel.
Each available kernel should have a recovery mode option.
Selecting recovery mode should allow you to opt for various utilities to attempt freeing disk space, fixing packages, checking disks etc., which may be useful if you know what caused the problem and then will attempt to boot a minimal system using just basic services - so without advanced graphics etc.
In your situation, I'd attempt a full (non-recovery mode) boot with an older kernel, just in case your problem was triggered by a kernel upgrade.
