To be clear, do you mean that you got this result with the version
halfway between v2.6.38.4 and v2.6.38.5? What does the .config file
look like --- could you send it? (Sorry for the tedious questions.)
"Giving up waiting for the root device" can mean many things, but it often
means the hard disk driver didn't load. Maybe that means an (unrelated)
localmodconfig bug; trying with a known-good .config file (like so:
cp /path/to/my/good/config/file .config
make oldconfig
make deb-pkg
cd ..
dpkg -i ...
reboot
) could be a good idea.
If this *was* a known-good .config file, I'd suggest running
git bisect bad
and building and testing the next version it suggests.
Sorry for the lack of clarity.
Jonathan
