I think the key here is by using git feature called "bisect" to find out the culprit. This might require repetitive kernel build and re test. It's kinda trial work, only here you got help from git as the revision control. Once you found the commit that introduce the bug, you can either remove that (of course, without introducing instability) or improve it. It all might sound easy, but require patience and time. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
