Those should be relatively rare.
If you have a kernel change you're not sure of, use Install -G, and put
the kernel in its own tree. Don't use BFU until the kernel changes are
stable enough to boot and do another BFU.
Otherwise you'll end up observing a well-known entity in the
development universe: the warm brick.
Been there, done that .... I should organise a cafepress tshirt ....
