Public bug reported: My system is updated every couple of days. After a recent upgrade that included a new kernel, my system fails to boot up. If I select the previous kernel from grub boot menu, everything is fine.
I can't really see where the boot process fails. Only visible symptom is the led behind my caps lock key starts flashing after several seconds (dell studio xps m1340 laptop).
