[opensuse-kernel] How to bisect the SUSE kernel?
Hi all, please excuse me if the answer is obvious :-) Is there an easy way to bisect between two SUSE update kernels? The 12.2 update from 3.4.33 to 3.4.42 broke my parallel printer -- the device is simply not detected anymore (it's on a NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller, "parport_serial" driver, seria ports on the same card/chip still work). An update to the current tumbleweed kernel also does not help, so something got broken for me after 3.4.33... I already looked through the diff of vanilla 3.4.33 --> 3.4.42 and can't imagine what would cause this, so I'm suspecting a strange side effect of something totally different. This is where I think bisection would come in handy :-) How would I best do that?

What about bisecting on base of git://gitorious.org/opensuse/kernel.git, branch openSUSE-12.2 (build tarballs for checkin from it via scripts/tar-up.sh ) Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org

Thanks, that was the obvious piece I was not seeing :-) I'll see what turns out to be the culprit.
