You are lucky. For me it stops booting after the "freeing unused kernel
memory" line. The one from 2 days ago had 2 days uptime.
Usually this means that some function/data is marked __init while it
must not.

Quick verification: #undef __init / #define __init etc.

Just wondering: wouldn't it be possible to write some tool to find such
bugs?

Update: After a recompilation with today's updates, the latest bk kernel
boots again for me.
That's not the first time I notice this strange behaviour. I meant, this
happened to me randomly with various bk kernels for monthes. The problem
usually disappeared by itself after either recompiling the entire kernel,
or changing a few unrelated lines of code and then reompiling. That's
weird, I really don't know what can be causing that.
