As you determined, there is no difference between merge-2009-08-28 and v2.6.31-rc8. If one works and the other doesn't, then the main thing not working will be git... What is linux-2.6-allstable? My guess is that the culprit is between v2.6.31-rc8 and whatever is at the head of linux-2.6-allstable. John -- John W.
