Bug#906141: linux-headers: Fail to load desktop after computer login

[Cody Jackson <codyjacks@gmail.com>]

Package: linux-headers-4.9.0-7-amd64
Version: 4.9.110-3+deb9u1
Severity: important
File: linux-headers

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?

I was updating the linux headers from 4.9.0-6 to 4.9.0-7.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Once every month I run apt-get dist-upgrade. That's what I did in this case.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The computer will load the headers, I am able to login, but after I enter my password, the computer screen goes gray, the fan kicks in, and the desktop will not load. In order to get my computer to work, I have to load the 4.9.0-6 headers. 

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

My computer to continue to work with the new header.
