I upgraded several machines and some failed to boot 2.6.35, they just hang after grub starts loading the kernel.
If you updated from 2.6.34 or even 33, then there shouldn't be a problem; "make oldconfig" should have worked OK and presented new/changed config options in a sane way.
However, if you updated from a very old kernel, then essentially you should have configured the new kernel from scratch, with all the work this entails.
So even though this advise isn't gonna help in your current situation, doing updates ASAP so that they're smaller is much better than waiting for too long and doing huge ones; this often breaks too much stuff.
In your situation, configuring the kernel from scratch might be the best option.
