I share the same worry. Towards the end of the bisect run (something like the 4-th last reboot), I was asked to try "2.6.24". Now, I _thought_ 2.6.24 was way before 852738f39258deafb3d89c187cb1a4050820d555, and hence it should be called 2.X.Y-foobaz something as the others were. Is this the way it should be, or did I fscked up the bisect? This was a bisect run between 852738f39.. and 2.5.25-rc1. I got a string of "bad"s but TWO goods, actually. Those goods sustained a number of reruns of smartd (I can share the BISECT_LOG if wanted). And how we can end up with good_start+1 as the guilty one, and STILL have two good ones during the bisect run..... That's beyond me. lets just say that my faith in myself and/or bisect starts to decline... Now I'm considering a 2.6.24 .. 8527 run. /A /A -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
