Are you insisting on "type this command" validity, or general concepts? Much of section 1 (from 1.2 to 1.5) has been rendered totally obsolete by the linux-next development tree. Most of the basic concepts remain the same - a binary search using git hasn't changed much, and their explanation of things that can go wrong still applies to most uses of 'git bisect'. However, they refer to 'git-this', 'git-that', 'git-whatever', while most more recent documentation uses 'git this', 'git that' etc. And of course, the details of what testing *you* should be doing will depend on *why* you're doing testing in the first place - see the recent discussion about performance testing for examples. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Now if someone has a better guide to do the search for kernel errors and report them, I would be very grateful El vie., 19 oct. 2018 a las 1:39, <valdis.kletnieks@vt.edu> escribi?: > > On Thu, 18 Oct 2018 19:05:35 -0600, Manuel Quintero Fonseca said: > > Hi, Linux Kernel Tester's Guide is still valid? > > > > http://www.unixy.pl/maciek/doc/lktg/handbook-en.pdf > > Depends.
