We can only guess, because you didn't say what happens when you *try*
to get out of multi-user mode.  Normally, either "exit" or "reboot"
will be the way you get out of single-user mode.

If it keeps going into single-user mode on its own when you boot, then
you need to pay attention to *why* it's doing that, and solve the
problem.  Needing an fsck is a common reason (see the handbook), but
there could be others.

If the new kernel is causing the problem itself, then boot the old
kernel instead.
