Hello John & Nick,
IMO,you should take stable release version of kernel and then give a try because stable kernel has very less chance.Sanjev Sharma

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