I would recommend building the latest kernel,if it doesn't boot please git bisect and send<br>
in a bug report with the commit to revert, if there is a obvious commit that causes issues.<br>
If you don't known the maintainer/lists to send the message to run ./scripts/get_maintainer -f<br>
on the file in question from the root directory of your cloned git tree and is should tell you<br>
who to mail the message to and cc the message to.<br>
Cheers,<br>
