I need help with this:

"Take a look first to see what you can learn"(...)"Sometimes you can easily find the problem if it's in a subsystem that only has changes from a few patches.(...)" from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection

I have attached the output from
git log --oneline Ubuntu-4.1.0-3.3..Ubuntu-4.2.0-7.7
as "gitlog-oneline-4.1.0-3.3--4.2.0-7.7-2016-0101.txt"

Does this output contain something that can help me save some steps?

Otherwise I get this:

piero@bianco:~/ubuntu-wily$ git bisect start Ubuntu-4.2.0-7.7 Ubuntu-4.1.0-3.3

Does this mean I may have to compile and test up 13 Kernels?

Thank you!
