Sorry for the confusion, I was impatient for the first bisect run to complete - this time I figured out how to automate the testing portion of the git bisect run script so I could walk away and let it run until full completion.
Here is the result: acbb090b2400f627a801074c4e3e006c7501bb26 is the first bad commit commit acbb090b2400f627a801074c4e3e006c7501bb26 Author: Andreas Färber <andreas.faer...@web.de> Date: Wed Aug 15 14:15:41 2012 +0200 prep: Include devices for ppc64 as well Allows running qemu-system-ppc64 -M prep for consistency.
