OK, have been madly testing mainline kernels. My log below. Questions: 1. Is the order I have sequenced correct? 2. v2.6.35-12,12,13 was confusing. Not sure of history, but the ".13-original-maverick" has a date much earlier than the ".13-maverick", yet the later athough in a .13 folder acutally has a filename 02063512 to confuse matters... have I got this correct? 3. There are clearly concurrent branches with similar kernel versions. I've confined my testing to the maverick and natty versions, which appeared in the folder listing between your two bracketing suggetions. 4. My conclusion: The problem is with somethng changed or new between 2.6.35 and 2.6.36. Interestingly the bisect is indicating that all 2.6.35 work, and all 2.6.36 fail. So it must be something fundamental to that version change.
Where to from here? I'm happy to go down to code level with you, if you have the patience. Last time I compiled a kernel was mid 90's using FreeBSD! So I'll need some hand holding once byond basic cli work, though I wouldnt mind learning more, and thus becoming more able to contribute to the ubuntu communty.
