RE: Problem with git bisect between 2.6.15 and 2.6.16

From: Greg Lee <hidden>

You'll need to invert "good" and bad" for this.  I.e. mark 2.6.15 as good, 2.6.16 as
bad, and
then as you test mark kernels with the bug as good, and ones without as bad.  Try not to
go
insane while working in this inverted parallel universe :-)

This was progressing fine until I ran into an issue that makes the kernel unstable causing
it to crash at semi-random times.  I'm down to about 350 commits left in the bisect.  I've
tried:

git reset --hard HEAD~3

no luck, same problem, unstable

then I tried --hard HEAD~50

no luck, same problem, unstable

I'm concerned about moving too much further in the "~" direction, will this cause me other
problems?
