--- Comment #3 from Jon Dowland <[email protected]> 2010-09-23 22:09:01 --- Hello, thank you for the suggestion. Yes, it was daft to start the bisection such a long way after an identified good commit. I re-started from 2.6.32. I've hit a minor stumbling block, a run of commits which won't resume from suspend at all. I've been skipping those but it's slow progress. After a few days of testing, I decided to save that progress and restart with just commits that touched that wild-guess path of yours. I also took the opportunity to trim my config down a lot (was using what was essentially an allmodconfig, optimising for "manually configuring time" at the expense of "huge number of compiles to try" time). I've finished!
