    Ok, I ran into a build issue on the third on.

    harley:/usr/src # cd linux-2.6-allstable
    harley:/usr/src/linux-2.6-allstable # git bisect start
    harley:/usr/src/linux-2.6-allstable # git bisect bad v2.6.28

    Bisecting: a merge base must be tested
    [3fa8749e584b55f1180411ab1b51117190bac1e5] Linux 2.6.27

    Build and test kernel: This one worked so:

    harley:/usr/src/linux-2.6-allstable # git bisect good
    Bisecting: 4879 revisions left to test after this (roughly 12 steps)

    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6

    Build and test kernel: This one worked so:

    harley:/usr/src/linux-2.6-allstable # git bisect good
    Bisecting: 2443 revisions left to test after this (roughly 11 steps)
    [db563fc2e80534f98c7f9121a6f7dfe41f177a79] Merge
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sfrench/cifs-2.6

    This one doesn't build:

    CC [M] fs/ext3/super.o
    fs/ext3/super.c: In function ‘ext3_quota_on’:
    fs/ext3/super.c:2839: error: ‘nd’ undeclared (first use in this function)
    fs/ext3/super.c:2839: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
    fs/ext3/super.c:2839: error: for each function it appears in.)
    make[2]: *** [fs/ext3/super.o] Error 1
    make[1]: *** [fs/ext3] Error 2
    make: *** [fs] Error 2

    I haven't yet determined that I can but, if I were to make a modification to the
    tree now to fix this would that screw up the bisect process?

    Regards
    Mark
