When you update your kernel version, you need to update your boot disk. To do this run:

mkbootdisk <kernel version>

You can find the kernel version by doing:

uname -a

Also, when you update your kernel, you need to update any drivers you added that are not included in the kernel. Make sure the drivers your using are compatible with the new kernel.

If your computer goes into a blank screen because of XFree86, you can use Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get to the console

P.S. You should try Gentoo.
