I would suggest going back to the previous kernel.  In the past 24
hours I've seen a number of posts concerning problems with that
kernel.  I'll be waiting for the next release unless someone can
positively assertain that the problem is isolated to a few users. 
Unless this release is offering a feature or a security patch that is
a must, best avoid any further headaches by skipping that version of
the kernel.
