From 58ccdc6d2b7c77f7d38f3c856d0ed0f3453119b8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Space Meyer Date: Wed, 19 Apr 2023 11:27:04 +0200 Subject: pkg/bisect: set linux gcc bisection cutoff to v4.18 The buildroot images deployed after #2820 can only boot v4.19+ kernels. This has caused lots of bad bisection results, see #3224. We either need a new universal image or a kernel version dependant image selection. For now we stop at v4.19+.
