I have compiled the 4.14.0-0.rc2.git0.1 kernel here with a custom configuration. I've had two issues.
First, when I boot into multiuser, instead of white text on black background, the virtual terms come up with gray text on white background, a killer for the eyes. If I then start X, the virtual terminals revert to white on black text. This was not an issue in the 13, or before, series of kernels.
Second, I had a system lockup. It has been multiple kernel series since I have had one. The only configuration option that I changed between 13 and 14 was to use the hardened slab freelist. I'll see if a lockup happens again, or was a fluke.
Just a heads up that there might be some rough edges in the 14 series.
The latest kernel package, kernel-4.14.0-0.rc6.git0.1.fc28, has been stable for 3 days now, so I think issue 2 is licked. The virtual consoles still come up with a weird color scheme, dark gray on light gray, but the workaround of starting X to fix that still works (reverts them to light gray on black). And doesn't occur in rawhide, though the terminals come up really bright black instead of black black. The workaround reverts them to the correct behavior there too.
