I'm not very good with git. All that bisect visualize shows for the patch is the following:
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@g5.osdl.org> 2005-10-29 16:02:16
Committer: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@g5.osdl.org> 2005-10-29 16:02:16

Obviously, it consists of a number of patches, but I don't know how to elaborate. Is there some git command to get the full description?

Same bug. _make install_ fails if the uevent files are present. Sorry for the imprecision.

Yes, that's a sort of empty marker which indicates the point at which Linus
merged the MIPS git tree. It's rather bad of git-bisect if it told you
that this was offending patch.

I don't know what'a happening here. What program is saying "no record for
'/block/hdc/uevent' in database"?

The problem turned out to be in Bootloader/Tools.pm where the code
did not know how to handle the uevent files. Once I modified the perl
script to skip over uevent items, all is well.
Thanks for your attention to this matter, and I'm sorry to have
bothered the kernel group with a bug in a peripheral system.

It is coming from somewhere a SuSE script named /sbin/mk_initrd. I have not yet localized where the problem is in the script.

Can you describe the patch less cryptically?

What does "it failed" mean? Is this the same bug, or a different one?

The changes introduced the commit 596c96ba05e5d56e72451e02f93f4e15e17458df break the initrd building step of the "make install" process. The console output is as follows:

I used git bisect to localize the bad commit. I also observed that if the kernel created /sys/block/hdc/uevent, it failed. If this "file" does not exist, the install worked.
