You are not alone. It's been pretty bad for quite some time. I've been 
having to remove libdvdcss2 before updating and then putting it back. 
Updating to kernel 3.11.1-200 was a disaster on three of my machines, 
all using nvidia chipsets. I was rebooting to a black screen. I'm not 
sure how to troubleshoot this one since reinstalling kmod-nvidia and/or 
akmod-nvidia didn't do much. I'm closer to the newbie side of the road. 
One machine with an ATI chipset was ok after a fresh install and update 
to this latest kernel.
