There are a couple of reports on the DE side of "Ooops" events with this new kernel. This morning I observed another new behavior, and because I saw it on two different desktop systems, I thought it should be reported here.
After booting the system to the KDE/Plasma desktop, and checking the news and forum in the browser, I downloaded all available updates and logged out. Normally, I can use Ctrl-Alt-F2 to open TTY2 and log in as root there, then use systemctl to change to runlevel 1 and install the upgrades. This morning Ctrl-Alt-F2 was dead -- no response of any kind. Ctrl-Alt-F3 worked correctly, and of course that is just as functional to change to runlevel 1, so I thought maybe there was an F-lock or keyboard issue, and finished updating that system. However, when I went to update the second system, Ctrl-Alt-F2 was dead on that one also. Again, Ctrl-Alt-F3 worked as expected, and I was able to finish with updates.
On both systems, after I was logged in as root to TTY 1, then TTY 2 worked as expected and offered me the login prompt. So possibly there is some change in the transition to the graphical.target (it might be systemd and not a kernel issue ....).
Both of these desktops use Intel CPUs and Nvidia graphics, but the motherboards and other components are not the same. Here is one of them:
