I am seeking help with encircling the cause of: [Bug 16376] random - possibly Radeon DRM KMS related - freezes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3D16376 I started a bisection as described in which has been painful for me - at=20 least for a first time bisection -, but after the second skip of a non- booting kernel git points me to a kernel that is outside of the initial=20 range between good and back. good is: [60b341b778cc2929df16c0a504c91621b3c6a4ad] Linux 2.6.33 bad is: bad: [64ba9926759792cf7b95f823402e2781edd1b5d4] Merge branch 'for- linus' of git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd After skipping the last non booting kernel, git bisect put me to=20 5be796f0b842c5852d7397a82f8ebd6be8451872 which is just 300 lines after=20 2.6.33-rc2. Obviously I am not interested in kernels prior 2.6.33. Should I just do a=20 "git bisect good" without trying the kernel or is there some other remedy?= =20 its 11 cycles already without testing anything outside the initial=20 good/bad range and it takes about half a day to be somewhat sure that a=20 kernel is good, so I'd like to avoid testing versions outside this range. My bug comment #35 contains a log of the bisection[1].
