I have Ubuntu 14.04. After having updated the system to kernel 3.13.0-49-generic, I re-booted and now everything freezes! I cannot log in. (Keyboard and mouse do not work as well)

I found this line in my kern.log when I first rebooted after kernel update:

segfault at 0 ip 00007f2d1fabd0c8 sp 00007f2d02ef7500 error 6 in libcontent.so[7f2d1f178000+141f000]

This error appeared once in the first time I wanted to reboot after updating the kernel.

I came across Google Chrome crashes the whole system - Ubuntu 14.04.

And I uninstalled my chrome browser and rebooted again. But no luck.

Anything else that I need to check?

As I mentioned in the question, the new kernel was causing me the problems, so I booted with my older kernel and everything is back to normal. The answer to this question helped: How can I boot with an older kernel version? So first update grub, then reboot, while rebooting, press and hold Shift key. Then go to advanced options, and from there, select an older kernel version (kernel 3.13.0-36-generic in my case).
