Ok, I spent some time compiling and found out that
-next-20080424 is good
-next-20080428 is bad
and all kernels after 20080428 that I've tried failed to boot.
The problem with 20080428 is a NULL pointer dereference:

and this is apparently the same error as current 20080702 when
booted with the 'nosmp' parameter:

The sad thing is that these are the last messages on the screen,
but there were others before them (I think that's why it says
it is tainted).
