Same here: 3.9.1 is fine.
Why are you actually upgrading to the most recent kernel anyway?
Just installed 3.9.1-saucy, again.

This time, I didn't take any chances and re-installed nVidia/nVidia-settings 304.88 before doing a cold-boot.
I dunno. In the past, when you installed a kernel, you could see the initial nVidia module being built. At least this way (re-installing nVidia et al) I get some indication of what's going on. :)

I lost all of my saved passwords, in Chromium Canary 28 -- wiped the slate clean :confused:
EDIT
Upgraded to Chromium Canary 29, and my saved passwords are back, again.
