Just for reference (as its not in the thread linked above), this issue disappeared for me after some config changes (I somehow changed my selection when I backtracked and then moved forward w/ git bisect). I've not been able to reproduce it since, but I know others (BCC'ed on this note) have seen it and might prod them to come forth with details (and broken .config files) thanks -john - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
