Hello,
I would like to make a long-range bisect (unfortunately) to find where
an issue appeared. The issue is present only on single one laptop, where
I don't want to alter OS or somehow intrude things.
Moreover, when I usually do `git bisect' between subsequent releases, I
am fine with ordinarily 'make install', which is not the case now,
because, for instance, 2.6.xx just won't run with modern systemd things
(or, correctly, systemd things won't run with 2.6.xx).
So, I would like to discover a way to compile USB live image with as
simple as possible OS using precompiled ./linux tree. Only my test
executable is required to run after the boot to show whether the issue here.
So, what would you recommend? Or, how do you solve such problem usually?

Have you considered http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/. This sounds
like an appropriate use case for it.

user mode linux won't help me find an issue in hardware drivers.
