Hmmm Hard to say... I don't think so... But just like you, when I use 
any of my custom kernels every now and then I get a Kudzu message that 
states my printer was removed, however I keep the setttings, boot the 
system and have been able to print whenever I want... So I wouldn't give 
it too much attention... BTW I usually install the kernel like this:

cd /usr/src/linux-<version>
cp /boot/config-<latest_official_version> .config
make menuconfig && make modules modules_install install

I haven't had *any* problems save for those occasional kudzu messages.
