A different kernel will have different timing and current requirements. To rule out a
marginal supply, boot a standard Raspbian image and run "vcgencmd get_throttled". An
answer other than 0x0 (likely 0x50000, but possibly 0x50005) indicates that undervoltage
has occurred (and is possibly still ocurring). This may not be enough to trigger a
malfunction, but the potential is there.
