Ubuntu 14.04 update to 3.13.0-100 breaks boot

[esheesle]

I just performed an apt-get dist-upgrade and rebooted after it completed successfully. When the system came back up, i got the grub prompt, and then when it went to boot it just sat with a flashing underline cursor. I let it sit for several minutes with no change. I rebooted and chose the old kernel and system booted normally. Any ideas what might have broken? No other kernel update has ever caused this for me.

Thanks

Just to add to this, I've looked at the various dmesg logs and can't find one showing that kernel version attempting to boot, just the previous one .96.

What does terminal command
dpkg -l | grep linux-image* show as output?
Please use Code-Tags for terminal output. See my signature below for a How-to
