Re: Very bad regression from 2.6.33 as of 1600f9def

I'm being bit by an extremely troublesome regression on HEAD (when the kernel
was built, at least) of Linus' tree. The symptoms are that the kernel boots,
blinks the cursor a few times, then reboots without showing any messages or
switching to the uvesafb mode specified on the commandline. Trying to boot the
kernel in qemu causes it to hang with a blank screen and a non-blinking cursor,
not even printing anything to a serial terminal. .config is below.

I'm on an MSI-1651-ID2 laptop, core2duo T5550, 4g ram, compiled with GCC 4.4.3.

what is the last good kernel?
can you bisect this?
