I just updated my Dell, but haven't restarted. Do we know how widespread the problem is and should I roll back the update?

There's a -109 out now. I'd install it before rebooting and probably expunge -108 entirely.
I would suspend your machine until we find out more, I have the same problem.
You all do realize that (at least by default) ubuntu will keep old kernel versions around, and you can choose to boot them in GRUB, don't you?

This is certainly a pain, but it's hardly the first time a broken kernel has shipped. Reasonable recovery mechanisms are in place.

For me the 108 kernel boots fine, but breaks suspend. :D
