It looks like you are using Binary video drivers, so they might need to be reinstalled for the new kernel.  Intel doesn't make it clear, but since they want you to have kernel-source installed, I assume that it does something kernel specific.

The other possiblity is that you are seeing an issue with the kernel.org kernel not having NPTL.
