That's ok, I (kind of) expected that a `git bisect` would be too difficult.

That's why I also described a simpler procedure which is specifically meant for 
people who aren't experienced. It will result in a new kernel being build, but 
all the complexity should be hidden for you.
It probably sounds daunting/scary, but it shouldn't be.

There is a subsequent step, but that is (far) more likely to succeed if we'd 
have more detailed data which the above procedure would provide.
So it would be great if you could try it.
If it turns out to be too difficult, don't worry about it :-)

Cheers,
  Diederik
