Hi, I was having some sound issue with ARCH 2.6.38.3 stock kernel so I started to bisect it from Greg KH's 2.6.38.y stable tree. .38.2 was good and .38.3 was bad (so I thought) but I hadn't any single bad commit during bisecting. However, .38.4 /was/ bad. I could finally find the guilty commit (which is in .38.4) but couldn't understand why I was hit by this issue even with 2.6.38.3-ARCH. Then I diff'd both .38.3 patches and found out that Arch's one includes patches that are not in Greg's release. It seems we include patches that are still in -stable patch queue. Finally, I just have one question: is that normal? All I can say is that it made my bisecting session a real PITA. Please give me back my CPU cycles :P Cheers. -- Emmanuel
