I took Gentoo instead. They have cutting edge and it all worked out of 
the box for 3.1.2 (when that was the newest release). This distro is 
tuned for compiling, what you are currently doing anyways.
Debian backports should generally work, but probably you should provide 
a LOT more information what is going on. What crashed do you experience? 
What is the configuration? You are doing (the little used) PCI 
passthrough, is anything going wrong here (e.g. my HP Laserjet will not 
work on a delegated USB port)?

Don't know, I do it by hand. Its not that hard, but its at least flexible.
