I use an radeon HD 4670 graphic card and can't boot with the 3.3-rc3 kernel, while it works fine with 3.2 (3.3-rc1 and 2 not tested). The system just hangs and shows me the attached screen. MagicSysRQ not working.

--- Comment #5 from Thomas v10lator@myway.de 2012-02-20 02:46:09 --- Hi Alex, I'm not that expert, but I think bisect has something to do with git? I'll try to figure it out for myself, but it would be great if you could give me step-by-step instructions what to do.

--- Comment #6 from Thomas v10lator@myway.de 2012-02-20 02:58:13 --- Okay, I found a description here: http://kerneltrap.org/node/11753 and hope that cloning 2.6 is right.
Also, as a sidenode: The cursor (down left side of the screen) blinks for a few seconds while the system still doesn't react to anything and shows the yellow lines before the screen freezes, too.

--- Comment #7 from Thomas v10lator@myway.de 2012-02-20 04:37:49 --- I started with
git bisect good v3.2 git bisect bad v3.3-rc1
and every builded kernel had the issue (more or less, at some point near the end the screen just goes to standby instead of freezing, but every time before freezing/going to standby it showed the yellow lines)
So at the end I got this:
a858393b0ce5c330bda466e5ae3a658ca98588ae is the first bad commit commit a858393b0ce5c330bda466e5ae3a658ca98588ae Author: Andrei Emeltchenko andrei.emeltchenko@intel.com Date: Fri Sep 16 16:26:30 2011 +0300

But how can a bluetooth change cause that? :(

--- Comment #8 from Thomas v10lator@myway.de 2012-02-20 05:17:09 --- Okay, I tracked this down more and was able to boot a 3.3-rc4 kernel. The problem was that radeon and uvesa was compiled into the kernel.
