This morning I booted the old machine up and found that the previous rc5 does have the bug. I remember now that it would be intermittant sometimes. I usually try to always boot into the latest kernel we are bisecting just to make sure it works well. And since I couldn't download/install the one you posted (comment #59) I booted into the previous one (comment #57 ) So apparently the bug actually was there, it just happened to boot fine the very first time. I am sure it is not in the previous one (rc4 from comment #55) as I have booted this one multiple times. So you were absolutely right, we did run into the bug again, which IS present in the kernel from comment #57. To be clear:
