I also have problems on two different machines with the 2.6.32-61 kernel upgrade. On one (Lenovo M57 Core 2 Duo E8500 with Intel graphics) I can use the desktop but many apps (eg Firefox) just hang almost immediately - window greys out and force quit is only thing that works. On other (Lenovo X61 laptop Core 2 Duo T7300 with Intel mobile graphics) the desktop appears after login but with no sound and does not respond to mouse-clicks. Ctrl-Alt-T brings up terminal window but does not display prompt or accept keystrokes. Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives access to console that seems to work ok. On both machines, holding Shift on booting to get the GRUB menu and selecting the -60 kernel gets everything working again.
