Problems upgrading kernel and X failing.

[Fritz Elfert]

Check your mouse setup in XF86Config. In the new kernel package, they disabled
support for /dev/psaux (to packagers: any good reason for that?) In addition,
the new xorg server simply dies without switching back to text mode if it does
not find any pointer device. You can verify this by 
examining /var/log/XFree86.0.log. I had the same prob and simply 
changed /dev/psaux to /dev/input/mice in XF86Config. After that it worked ...
