Actually it's not that hard. If a merge commit is the first bad commit for a bisection, either the merge wasn't done correctly (less likely, looking at d97a78423c33f68ca6543de510a409167baed6f5 I'd bet this isn't the problem); or changes on different sides conflict or you did something wrong during bisection. To rule out the third option, you can just retest d97a78423c33, 61da593f4458 and 689237ab37c5. If d97a78423c33 is the only bad one, you did it right. Then to further debug the second option you can find out the offending commit on each side with a bisection as follows, here for the RHS (i.e. 689237ab37c5): git bisect start 689237ab37c5 $(git merge-base 61da593f4458 689237ab37c5) and then in each bisection step do: git merge --no-commit 61da593f4458 test if the problem is present git reset --hard git bisect good/bad In this case you get merge conflicts in drivers/video/fbdev/amba-clcd.c and drivers/video/fbdev/vermilion/vermilion.c. In the assumption that you don't have these enabled in your .config, you can just ignore these. Side note: A problem during bisection can be that the .config changes along the process. You should put your config into (say) arch/x86/configs/lala_defconfig and do make lala_defconfig before building each step to prevent this.
