In the meantime, "git bisect" behaves kinda weird, I don't know what went 
wrong here:

 $ git bisect start
 $ git bisect good         # Linux 2.6.39
 $ git bisect bad v3.0-rc1 # Linux 3.0-rc1
 $ git bisect bad          # c44dead70a...
 $ git bisect bad          # d93515611b..

...yet the ./Makefile shows[0] that I'm already way behind: 2.6.39-rc2. 
Maybe "git bisect" got confused with that whole 2.6.x -> 3.0 renaming?

Hm, I tried again, from a clean v3.0-rc1 (git reset --hard), but after the 
2nd "git bad" I'm at 2.6.39-rc2 again - while I /should/ be somwhere 
inbetween v2.6.39..v3.0-rc1, right?

Kernel version is totally irrelevant when bisecting. You are not walking
through a linear series of patches but a complex tree of merges which
might have forked off different versions in the first place.
