You could compare the dmesg output of working and non-working kernels and see 
what differences are present, then google for bugs/solutions on that basis.

You could also diff the two different kernel tree versions and see what 
drivers have changed.  Also, check the kernel git repo to see what the 
changelog reports, which could narrow down the diff'ed files:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux

You could post a bug in BGO, but the devs may ask you to enable/undertake 
kernel debugging, which is not a 5 minute job and/or use vanilla kernel 
sources and report it upstream, depending on how rare this problem is and if 
they have been bitten by the same bug themselves.
