Do you get some error messages in dmesg output?

With git-bisect you can determine the commit which causes the problem. A
manual you can find here
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-bisect.html.

You should post your problem to the kernel testers mailing list. For details
see http://kernelnewbies.org/KernelTesters.
