Should I only bisect between master tags still? Heh I just realize what I said didn't make sense, what I meant was I was *going* to bisect but in order to first find my first good starting point I am going through the tree trying to find a good starting point to bisect and to do that I use interactive rebase (git rebase -i sha1sum) to specific sha1sums until I find a good compile that works. Only after I've done this would I then bisect. The interactive bisect on ba17bc5e55ba541d2a8765fca53b6883b667ab21 throws me back to 2.6.34 though, for some odd reason. Luis
