<pre>Hello Ilia,
regarding (a) and (b): I am just waiting for a rpmbuild of an OL6 version of
3.13-rc3 to finish and will report back on my findings and include a dmesg
output from that version.
Regarding (c):
Would'nt it make more sense than starting with 3.6 release and 3.7 release tags
to first rule out the "mega commit"?
Can you give me the git commands (or point me to a doc that tells me how to
produce them) for getting "ordinary kernel tarballs" out of the DRM nouveau git
just like the ones published on
<a href="https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/testing/">https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/testing/</a>
for two points in time in between 3.6 and 3.7:
(1) for the version up to the immediate commit BEFORE the "mega commit"
(2) for the version exactly matching the "mega commit"?
Using these two kernel tarballs, I could then either confirm or rule out the
"mega commit" as the root cause for the issue, and in the (unlikely) case the
mega commit can indeed be ruled out, I could then concentrate on further
narrowing down the commits
* either between 3.6 and the mega commit if build (1) is already broken
* or between the mega commit and 3.7 if build (2) still works, but 3.7 fails?
Sorry, but rather than pulling the whole git on my poor old laptop and starting
a huge number of bisection attemps "into the blue", I think that this makes
more sense and does not require me to become a git expert in order to try and
help tracking this down... ;-)
What do you think?
I will report back shortly with my 3.13-rc3 results...
BR,
Andreas</pre>
