You downloaded 2.6.21.6 from kernel.org, right? Just get 2.6.21 the

Yes, I have downloaded 2.6.21, and it works OK.
git bisect? OK, I will try to learn how to use git and git bisect. Wish I

Linus described how to do this here:
http://groups.google.com/group/fa.linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/af2a2d1151270a01/cdcaf2d55bb2f5e2?lnk=st&q=Linus+git-bisect+good&rnum=2&hl=en#cdcaf2d55bb2f5e2
Once you're you've got git going, git-bisect is a very simple, mechanical
procedure.
I have followed the step described by Linus.
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6
*$git bisect **good* v2.6.21
*$git bisect* bad v2.6.22
$git bisect
The output is:
Bisecting: 3420 revisions left to test after this
[58936d8d944e27b75c99b1c59cfeea3f253b03cb] Char: cyclades, create
cy_pci_probe
but when I do the following steps:
$cp arch/um/defconfig .config
$make menuconfig ARCH=um and select to build ocfs2 in kernel.
$make linux ARCH=um
The build is broken.
The error message is:
SYMLINK arch/um/include/kern_constants.h
SYMLINK arch/um/include/sysdep
make[1]: `arch/um/sys-i386/user-offsets.s' is up to date.

So what is wrong with the build process?
I did the same step with the package I downloaded from kernel.org, and it
works OK.
