It's slow, since the system doesn't hang at any one point reliably. So I far, here's my git log: > git bisect log git bisect start # bad: [f4b9a988685da6386d7f9a72df3098bcc3270526] Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.infradead.org/ubi-2.6 git bisect bad f4b9a988685da6386d7f9a72df3098bcc3270526 # good: [8e0ee43bc2c3e19db56a4adaa9a9b04ce885cd84] Linux 2.6.29 git bisect good 8e0ee43bc2c3e19db56a4adaa9a9b04ce885cd84 # bad: [095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f] perf_counter, x86: generic use of cpuc->active git bisect bad 095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f # bad: [095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f] perf_counter, x86: generic use of cpuc->active git bisect bad 095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f # bad: [095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f] perf_counter, x86: generic use of cpuc->active git bisect bad 095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f # bad: [095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f] perf_counter, x86: generic use of cpuc->active git bisect bad 095342389e2ed8deed07b3076f990260ce3c7c9f # bad: [ebc8eca169be0283d5a7ab54c4411dd59cfb0f27] Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc Part of what slows me down is having to apply my patch to a scsi driver to ratelimit printks, otherwise I can spend over 30+ minutes waiting just for the console to scoll an endless stream of messages before it will continue to boot. Or even longer. :] More as I get closer. John
