Does anyone know how to do the bisecting? The instructions at the above link that christopher provided are helping, but not a complete walkthrough. I'm trying my best to muddle along. I have successfully cloned the ubuntu-wily kernel repo and i've successfully started the git bisect process. It has picked 38eb1dbb0d7d190bdfe2ea824e94dab19e32737f as the first git bisect commit i need to compile and test. But i'm not sure how to properly compile this commit into a kernel in order to test it. The instructions on the ubuntu wiki for normal building kernels from source do not work. I'm trying to use the kteam-tools. It keeps saying that is an invalid commit. I'm probably just missing something simple, but if anyone can help it would be appreciated.
