First, please don't top post. Looking at this message you can see why it really doesn't make sense. :-)
Now, in short, to run a git bisection:
(1) clone the Linus' tree (see http://linux.yyz.us/git-howto.html#download_first_time) (2) from within the kernel source code directory downloaded in (1) run $ git bisect start $ git bisect bad (this will mark the last revision as a failing one) (3) If you have already verified that 2.6.24 works correctly, run $ git bisect good v2.6.24 (this will mark the 2.6.24 kernel as a good one) (4) as a result of this, git will select a kernel revision between 2.6.24 and the most recent one for testing. Compile it, install it and check if it works. If it does, run $ git bisect good Otherwise, run $ git bisect bad (5) repeat (4) until there's no more revisions to test.
If you encounter any problems, please ask what to do next.
Thanks, Rafael
