You need to do the bisect start after you cd into the linux-git directory.
Sorry, cut and paste error, I did the cd before the bisect: [root@Fedora-test git]# git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-git-fresh [root@Fedora-test git]# cd linux-git-fresh/ [root@Fedora-test linux-git-fresh]# git bisect start [root@Fedora-test linux-git-fresh]# git bisect bad v2.6.15 [root@Fedora-test linux-git-fresh]# git bisect good v2.6.16 dab47a31f42a23d2b374e1cd7d0b797e8e08b23d was both good and bad
Also, it appears you have the good and bad reversed, presumably the newer (v2.6.16) is bad, and the older (v.2.6.15) is good.
No, the problem was fixed in 2.6.16 and I'm trying to figure out what fixed it so that I can back-port the fix into a previous kernel version, so 2.6.16 is good and 2.6.15 is bad. Greg
