You're going into the wrong direction. If 2.6.34-rc7 works just fine,
you shouldn't be testing 2.6.34-rc5.

No, you should only do "git bisect bad" if you find a CPU eater and "git
bisect good" if you don't. For the non-booting kernels you should do
"git bisect skip"; otherwise git gets confused as we can see here.

Did you test v2.6.35-rc1? Does it have the CPU eater problem? If yes,
please just reset your bisection

git bisect reset
git bisect start
git bisect good v2.6.34-rc7
git bisect bad v2.6.35-rc1

and use 'git bisect skip' for kernels that don't boot or build.

Pekka
