Why would you want to go from Jellybean to ICS? Is the ROM somewhat unstable? There are several ICS ROMs available; you would have to decide which one you want first and find out which kernel suits that ROM best before you try flashing anything.
In any case, you would want to go to recovery, flash the corresponding kernel, then flash the ROM you want (you should stay in recovery the entire time while doing this, do not restart the phone with the incompatible kernel/ROM mix). As usual, you want to back up stuff before anything.

Could you please explain a little bit?

The place where you are getting the kernel should say what it is compatible with. As an example, go to this webpage: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1592228

Here, you will notice that there is a link with a kernel compatible with JB and CM10 (JB based), and another link compatible with ICS. I usually go to GalaxyS2Root.com - Your Source for Galaxy S2 root, roms, and more tips!, where you can read about the ROM, and there is a download for its corresponding kernel. Be very careful, however, this website will show you everything about galaxy 2 (all the variations). You should only get what is compatible with your phone and model.
