Yes, i did boot every single on. We had this problem where it was the 
makefile when i did a similar bisect with Huang Ying, and it is what 
prompted me to expand the bisect parameters to v2.6.32. I believe the 
email about that is in the  mailing list still, and im more than happy 
to do any other tests you can think of to test and isolate this bug as 
it currently causes a significant issue.

Cheers

William
