Re: Another 6.99.31 amd64 panic



Well, I did the 'git bisect' dance yesterday, to no avail. I never
checked first if 'trunk' was bad, I assumed it as it was from around
the 13th of February, my problems started earlier. I stated 'git
bisect good' from around 25th of January and proceeded with the
process, every time building a clean kernel.

All of them worked just fine.

The overnight build (from the main CVS repo) completed fine. The crash
was gone. Same from the overnight build from releng. The releng kernel
from 24th of February still crashes, so all we can say now is that a
commit between 24th and 26th has sorted it out, and it is not some
transient hardware fault.

Unfortunately I am none the wiser. All is good, though. At least I
learned something about git, which should be useful other time.

Thanks,

Chavdar Ivanov
