I've tried following the guide but I always end up loosing the ubuntu specific folders for doing a build when bisecting. Heres what I've done: git clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-$(uname -r) -- this would then be the 3.0.0-17 stuff

The problem persists of halting boot on firewire initialization. It appears from the package description that the kernel is 64 bit (Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0 on 64 bit x86 SMP ) But my machine is a Intel Duo T2300 (32-bit) which should then be a Linux kernel image for version 3.2.0
