Are you sure you do not have something non-standard I might have overlooked, I do remember you had some extra partitioning there, maybe something else too?
I saw this in the kernel-plus topic:
The kernel builds properly when using Sabermod's Linaro GCC 4.8 cross-compile toolchain for ARM EABI.
It doesn't boot, though.
NON-Linaro information:
I've recently picked up a spare N9 (smashed screen, though) hwrev 1607, and K+ boots just as often as Harmattan on it.
On hwrev 1507, it just hangs at kexec. Finicky.

Why on earth are some revs so picky, can that be overcome eventually?

The problems are all with getting Harmattan starting up correctlly. With Nitdroid or Nemo it's trivial, those can run on any HWREV with no problem whatsoever. Harmattan is exceedingly picky, bordering on fragile on how it starts up...
What I suspect is different HWREV boards have a bit different components/chipset/firmware and of course when Nokia made it they tested/debugged all with their official kernel and tuned the bootchain accordingly in each PR release.
I have no luxury like this, with my own device (rev.1501) I can do what I can to tune it but support on other HWREVs is not so easy.

So strange. I am using kernel-plus with nat binary download. On first flash, everything was fine. Later, it seemed my bluetooth tethering just wouldn't work (couldn't connect second device). I rebooted. Then it went into a reboot loop. I was freaked out. Then I just let it sit for a minute and eventually it did boot. I'm still running it now. However I experience issues with reboots. Not sure if the plus patches have really bought me anything here other than more random instability.
Anyone care to comment regarding stability?
I could compile plus myself on device and see if that somehow makes a difference.

Not once have I encountered any random instability. Granted, I do not overclock my device and have only fairly light tweaks on it, just basic Open Mode stuff.
