All commits which were provided by the bisect were bad.
And the commit before tha last bad bisect commit was bad too.
I did bisect several times, and got the same results.

Fo testing i used linux-3.0.y branch of
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git.

Did i miss something or do something wrong here ?

Did git bisect go down a merge commit ? It does for me if I try that and
asks to test that merge first. If you get that wrong it can get very
confused.

That's all I can think of... do you have the bisection log just in
case ?

Also you can use gitk -- arch/powerpc to look at the changes to powerpc
code and try manually random points before/after that if you think
bisect isn't doing the right thing.
