# start round cp /path/to/.config . make oldconfig make # install kernel, check whether it's good or bad, then: git bisect [bad|good] ======================================================== I built and installed the kernel downloaded using "cg-clone", booted it up and ran "git bisect bad". I'm also somewhat confused as the first failing kernel is 2.6.20-git11, the Makefile says the kernel got with cg-clone is actually 2.6.21-rc4 and it built as 2.6.20-g208367ee. Regards Sid.
