WIth git I would suggest you create a new branch (so that you do not lose the bisection state) and then hard reset to a tag. # git branch mybranch # git checkout mybranch # git reset --hard v2.6.18-rc3 I’ve never used cogito.

How can I switch to a specific commit (with cogito I could do "$> cg-seek v2.6.18-rc3") but the cogito scritps seems to be buggy, isn't it ?

I'm doomed! I really have tried everything. I'm not alone though, another guy with a similar Vaio has the same problem.

Unfortunately the kernel isn't a function, nor can we take it's derivative. Now only if we could extend this and get git to use Newton’s method, which has *quadratic* convergence.

I think from RC1 to RC4 accounts for more then 25% of the changesets between V14 and v15 releases The same way counts the other way around, if i had only known 2.6.11 was good and 2.6.15 bad, that would have added a mere 2 more reboots. (every boot rules out around half of the changesets left over) I agree, if I was able to shave off 75% of the commit range i would have saved a mere 2 reboots.

Maybe 2 reboots. Probably wouldn’t save that much time though, because of the nature of binary search. Maybe 2 reboots.
