I had a problem with that kernel on first boot, so I booted the old 
kernel with no problem and then tried the new kernel again to see if I 
could get a hint at what the problem was and it booted and the desktop 
started with no problem and again with no problem, go figure..I'm still 
booting the new kernel(Linux jimmy-1 4.9.0-5-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 
4.9.65-3+deb9u2 (2018-01-04) x86_64 GNU/Linux) with no problem.  So if 
you have not tried to reboot with the new kernel, maybe cross your 
fingers and give it another try or two.
