It will complain if the commit does not exist or if there is something else which prevents the checkout (locally modified files for example). Incase they have a diffent sha1 id in your tree you can try looking for them using 'gitk' (the git repository browser). Since the kernel is so big you may want to limit how far back gitk should show history, try gitk --since=01-01-2010. You can either try to jump directly to the commit by entering a sha1 id into the 'SHA1 ID' box, or by typing a commit message into the 'Find' box. Beware that by default the search is case-sensitive. > What we need is a damn trigger to this bug.

I feel your pain, I've also mis-identified an 'unstable' commit as 'stable', which means the whole rest of the bisecting process (which takes a lot of time) is wasted. What triggers the freeze for me most of the time though is opening firefox (with a lot of windows and tabs from my previous browsing session). I do this as soon as I've logged in and my desktop environment has finished loading. On a side note, for those earlier commits (such as 44ca7478d46aaad488d916f7262253e000ee60f9, which I've been testing again during the day), do you also find that the system becomes very slow? As in there is a high CPU usage, but not caused by any running program? I've seen this again today, where top reports all programs using only a small amount of cpu (a grand total of 8% or so), and yet my CPU usage was almost 50%. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
