I'm a little confused at what I am seeing below. Normally what happens is that after a kernel compile and test. You call "git-bisect bad" or "git-bisect good" and then git-bisect picks the next kernel to test. Then you compile and test that one. It looks like you called git-bisect bad several times in a row without testing....
