(It's amazing how many people > have trouble with the "Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur:" > question). When I read that question, it sort of feels like a mind bender. It's the "did not occur" , most people are thinking "which version of the kernel did I find this in", but it's asking the opposite .. For bug #8945 I really don't recall the version of the kernel I ran when it worked .. I had to do a bisect to get some clue about that .. nmi_watchdog isn't something I use every time I boot (I should tho), and I go through lots of kernels .. > What I haven't been doing is ensuring that the Product and Component fields > are suitably set. That's something which Natalie is now cleaning up. In terms of regressions, it would be nice for the "Version" field to be the kernel where the regression first showed up .. Like on bug #8945 I put in 2.6.22 even tho I found the issue in 2.6.23-rc1 .. Is that typically what the "Version" field is used for?
