Hi Christophe, Thanks a lot for your answer. OK, now, I know, that I don’t need to test it. After the boot of the latest git kernel, my system was extremely damaged. Some config files has a size of several gigabytes for example the resolv.conf. I tried to repair this Debian system but without any success. I copied with dd and Netcat via network another rootfs from another computer to the damaged partition. I don’t have the time to do it always again and again after a bad bisect result. I will wait some weeks and try it again.
