Started a bisect of the lucid kernel for testing, notes below. Created a lucid i386 schroot for building kernels on my x86_64 natty system using the kernel team build scripts: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelTeam/KernelMaintenanceStarter
Kernel bisections (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection): $ git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-lucid.git Commit tags for good and bad kernel: Bad: Ubuntu-2.6.32-32.62 Good: Ubuntu-2.6.32-31.61 All commits between the two releases we think are "good" and "bad": $ git log --oneline Ubuntu-2.6.32-31.61..Ubuntu-2.6.32-32.62 > ../diff-Ubuntu-2.6.32-31.61-Ubuntu-2.6.32-32.62 $ git log --oneline Ubuntu-2.6.32-31.61..Ubuntu-2.6.32-32.62 | wc -l 179 179 commits between the two tags.
