https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34462 --- Comment #6 from Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> 2011-12-03 00:16:17 PST --- Owen, can you bisect? Just trying a few intermediate versions from http://snapshot.debian.org/ would already be useful. For narrowing down the regression range beyond that, "git bisect" can help: git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git cd linux git bisect start -- drivers/gpu/drm/radeon git checkout (bad version) make localmodconfig; # minimal configuration make -j2 deb-pkg dpkg -i ../(package).deb reboot # confirm that it is actually bad git bisect bad git checkout (good version) make silentoldconfig; # reuse configuration make -j2 deb-pkg dpkg -i ../(package).deb reboot # confirm that it is good git bisect good # now it checks out an intermediate version to test make silentoldconfig make -j2 deb-pkg dpkg -i ../(package).deb reboot git bisect bad; # if it hangs in the same way git bisect good; # if it boots correctly git bisect skip; # if some other problem makes it hard to test ... rinse and repeat ... git bisect visualize; # to watch the regression range narrowing git bisect log; # to summarize partial results if you get bored -- 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
