No. You'll need to clone the entire kernel tree (either Linus one or mine). The build system at the Kernel will rebuild an entire Kernel image. You'll then need to boot that new image. That takes some machine time, but, after the first compilation, the subsequent compilations are faster. I recommend you to use a minimal .config file for the compilation, as this speeds up a lot the time to compile the Kernel. Here, I use this small script to produce such mini-kernel: http://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/tiwai/misc/diet-kconfig After running it (and using the default for whatever question it asks me), I do a make menuconfig, to be sure that the media drivers and options I want are there. In summary, what I suggest is: $ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git $ git checkout v3.2 $ git bisect good $ diet-kconfig $ make menuconfig select what is missed at media stuff $ make && make modules install && make install & reboot after reboot check if everything is ok $ git bisect bad v3.4 repeat: $ make && make modules install && make install & reboot it will likely ask you about some new drivers = it is generally safe to just let the default - just be more careful with the media menuconfig items test the kernel: if OK: $ git bisect good if BAD: $ git bisect bad if git bisect answers that there are xxx bisects left, then goto repeat After running the above, git bisect will put its fingers on the broken patch.
Thank you very much Mauro. A very clear explanation. Without it I do not think I could do well. When finished, I report back what I found Again, thank you very much, Alfredo -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
