Not that I know of - and on the face of it it seems unlikely that this would 
be related, unless perhaps the bootloader changed - most of the parts that are 
switched out under these circumstances are part of userspace; the tools used 
to build the kernel should be the same.

In any event this sort of thing shouldn't happen. Could you perhaps file a bug 
for this with more details?

Thanks,
Paul
