There are plenty of possibilities, but this could mean that the video
driver did not start. Try hitting CTRL-ALT-F3. If that produces a text
console with a login prompt, then this is your problem.

In particular, if you had been using the nvidia proprietary drivers, you
will need to install it again for your new kernel.
