Not insane enough yet to try a binary kernel, ever, even from a more reputable source than some site in a language I don't even understand.
If I wait 2 minutes before booting the system I have no problems as long as I don't suspend it.
I don't understand what this means. Do you let it sit in the bootloader for 2 minutes, or what?
It may be more stable for you too.
The official kernels are stable for me, once the display comes up and stays up for more than a minute. Most of the time, this involves doing a quick boot with power management enabled, starting X, then rebooting normally, with power management disabled. Sometimes this does not work, which doesn't surprise me, since this is basically just blindly throwing shit at the wall until something sticks.
I'm not going to even try suspending until I can at least reliably boot. Suspending always brings its own set of problems, and has never worked 100% reliably for me.
In related news, 4.8-rc1 still doesn't work. Actually, it's worse, in that X won't start at all (something about unable to schedule ib on the TOPAZ). I'm pretty sure that's a different issue, though, so I won't elaborate (or report, until this bug is fixed first).
