I am out of the office and don't have access to this hardware either. I will try to find someone at Intel that does to speed this up. In the meantime I can send you a logging patch to do some sanity checks if you are able to run it.
I am also cut off from testing anything - it seems the air conditioning unit in my test site has failked for good now and the earliest I can test anything is next week.
I think I found your earlier mail, and it said 5.2-rc1 did not show the problem. I guess this wasn't the case after further testing, but 5.1 continued to be problem free?
Yes, 5.2-rc1 was problematic in retesting, and 5.1 was OK. I also started suspecting binutils upgrade meanwhile - I upgraded binutils to 2.31.1-p5 in Gentoo right after booting into 5.1, but the bisection results were finally consistent so I did not look into binutils versions further. gcc has not changed for me recently. -- Meelis Roos <mr...@linux.ee>
