The winner of a very long git bisect session:
04c71976500352d02f60616d2b960267d8c5fe24 is first bad commit
commit 04c71976500352d02f60616d2b960267d8c5fe24
Author: Samuel Thibault <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Tue Oct 16 23:27:04 2007 -0700
unicode diacritics support
Attempting to revert with git:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: git revert 04c71976500352d02f60616d2b960267d8c5fe24
Auto-merged drivers/char/keyboard.c
Auto-merged drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c
CONFLICT (delete/modify): drivers/tc/lk201-map.c_shipped deleted in HEAD and
modified in 04c7197... unicode diacritics support. Version 04c7197... unicode
diacritics support of drivers/tc/lk201-map.c_shipped left in tree.
Automatic revert failed. After resolving the conflicts,
mark the corrected paths with 'git-add <paths>'
and commit the result.
I reverted it manually in my working tree, ignoring a couple of bogus
rejects and the missing lk201-map.c_shipped which is _created_ in the
git tree by the attempt to revert, and now have a working kernel. The
oops on microcode driver load is gone, as is the freeze on shutdown when
scripts attempt to set hardware clock, nmi_watchdog firing when I poke
SysRq-T, and the inability to login via serial console reported in
thread:
