Dmesg would be a good idea. It does sound like a problem with the hardware and a driver. (I'm no expert!) Have you tried stripping everything out of the kernel but the very basic stuff. Perhaps one of the drivers you are selecting is not quite right for your hardware. Sometimes by building things as simply as possible you can get pointers to where the issue is.
