Did you get the GRUB menu?
You have to chose the other kernel there.

In a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:danielrichter2007/grub-customizer
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install grub-customizer

Start grub-customizer from the menu, select the 4.14.28-rt23-kona-rt and use the UP arrow to move it to the top of the list, save, exit.
Reboot.

As easier solution without having to install grub customiser

Edit as superuser or root /etc/default/grub

eg:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub

At the top of the file

Change this line from
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
to
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

Add this line
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

Edit\add these lines
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

Edit\add this line
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y

Then we need to update grub
sudo update-grub

This will do the following:
Show the grub menu & will boot the default choice after 10 seconds
Show all the kernels without a submenu such as "Advanced options"
Save the last selected kernel and make that the default kernel

References:
www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub/ht...e-configuration.html
askubuntu.com/questions/148662/how-to-ge...remember-last-choice

This is the example of what I have, do not copy & paste but use as a reference:
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0
#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
GRUB_TIMEOUT=10
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y
