All,

Recently upgraded to 2.6.3-rc8. While doing I could not able to boot,
and boot process stop at dmesg saying something:
ADDR_CONF (NETDEV CHANGE): eth0 interface become ready.

message seems success only but affter pressing alt+ctl+del. machine
boot without xserver and complete / with readonly filesystem. So I
couldn't capture whole dmesg.

Now: I have bisected the problem (twice), and bisect result goes to
0db501bd0610ee0c0aca84d927f90bcccd09e2bd is first bad commit
commit 0db501bd0610ee0c0aca84d927f90bcccd09e2bd
