This morning I reported an issue which cause a failure of the 2.6.23-rc2-git4 kernel to boot on my system. The contents of my post may be viewed here:

After 3 separate builds from "virgin sources" I still had the boot failure with the git4 level kernel.
This afternoon I picked up the git5 patch and it comes up and appears to run without problem.
Same base system. Same hardware. Same build process.
So even though I have only been building and running "pre-release" kernels for a short time I feel confident in saying that something was not kosher with the git4 patch - at least when it came to my system.
(system configuration data is in the original post)
I would not normally burn the valuable time of others with a rhetorical post but I looked at the changes out into the git5 patch and did not spot anything that looked like it would have resolved the issue I was having and I hate not being able to correlate a cause and effect here.
Any clues, or did I just get lucky with this one?
