Command git bisect good 1.0.23 gives me the output fatal: Needed a single revision Bad rev input: 1.0.23
How can i figure out the revision number?
When working with the kernel git, you have to take the kernel version numbers.
Sorry i really can't understand what to do. The steps i did were git clone git://git.alsa-project.org/alsa-kernel.git alsa-kernel git bisect start alsa-kernel/ git bisect bad git bisect good (Here i don't know what number to give)
I will keep reading because the whole thing is interesting to me...but for now i can't understand anything.
No problem. According to your dmesg logs, kernel 2.6.38 was working for you, and 3.2.0 isn't.
First, clone the mainline Linux git:
git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux cd linux
Test again that 2.6.38 is working:
git checkout v2.6.38 compile + test
test again that 3.2.0 is not working:
git checkout v3.2 compile and test
Then do the bisect:
git bisect start git bisect good v2.6.38 git bisect bad v3.2
Compile and test each step the bisect drops you to, and then call either "git bisect good" or "git bisect bad". If a step cannot be compiled or tested, call "git bisect skip".
If all goes well, you will be told which commit is the first one that does not work anymore.

I can't compile the kernel from git source. After i enter the command|CONCURRENCY_LEVEL=`getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN` fakeroot make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-custom kernel_image kernel_headers |i get after a while this error

Set CONFIG_XEN=n in your .config
So many hours in front of the computer and still can't compile the kernel...now it gives me the error
ld: drivers/watchdog/wm8350_wdt.o: bad reloc symbol index (0x20000033 >= 0x50) for offset 0x7a28 in section `.debug_info' drivers/watchdog/wm8350_wdt.o: could not read symbols: Bad value make[2]: *** [drivers/watchdog/wm8350_wdt.ko] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: *** [modules] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kostas/linux' make: *** [debian/stamp/build/kernel] Error 2
Advice me if you can what to do...i started to have a headache. Will continue tomorrow...
