Gee, I just had a similar problem upgrading to the RT kernel using
Ubuntu...

The idiots in COLA called me a liar despite all the posts in the Ubuntu
forums with people having the same or similar problems.

The new kernel should have appeared in your Grub menu when you boot, along
with your older kernel.

Just select the older kernel when you boot and all should be fine.

At least on my system, Ubuntu managed to leave that one alone.

How did you install your original video drivers?

Repeating that procedure would be a good start?

Don't remember that? Download the drivers from nvidia (pretend you're
using Windows) and install those.
