For this bisect run, can you do without the initramfs? Just build the
sata driver and the fs driver into the kernel. You may want to drop
makeit and just do the bare minimum, 'make bzImage && make modules &&
make modules_install' or similar.
The '+' means the kernel build system (using git) determined that there
were changes to the source tree from the most recent tagged version. If
there weren't, it would just use the tag 3.8.2. You can take a look at
scripts/setlocalversion to see how it figures it out.
hth,
Jason.
