A similar problem started occurring after an update/dist-upgrade about the same time Jerry reported this on the Forum. My problem continues but is intermittent (every second or third boot will fail). You can out wait the blank screen because 90 seconds after you enter the login PW and the screen blanks the desktop appears. Would be happy to gather what information you need but don't know how to install a prior kernel.
