For upstream kernels, your best shot is to try one of the "stable" kernels. I.e: those that have 4 numbers version (2.6.x.y) [or 3 numbers version for 3.x.y kernels] This is because: - They are regularly maintained, because they are used as the basis for major distro versions (Debian stable, Redhat/Centos etc.) which means you can usually increment 'y' as far as it goes for your chosen 'x' with hopefully no regressions etc. - Being the basis for major distro kernels also mean they are used by a very large population (testing, bug-fixes, etc). If you choose this route, you may as well pick your distro kernel (albeit for a different version). You should be carefull about relations between kernel *packages* for specific versions. E.g: Fedora moved (don't remember when) to a newer "mkinitrd" infrastructure called "dracut" -- So I assume a new kernel *package* would contain post-install scripts that depends on these scripts, so if your F12 is before the "dracut" transition, you may have integration problems (need to build/debug this stuff manually).
