Joe, I executed the following in a terminal:
mkdir ~/Desktop/precise-kernel && cd ~/Desktop/precise-kernel && git
clone git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-precise.git && cd
ubuntu-precise && git checkout -b mybisect origin/master && git log
--oneline Ubuntu-3.2.0-14.23..Ubuntu-3.2.0-15.24 | wc && git bisect
start Ubuntu-3.2.0-14.23 Ubuntu-3.2.0-15.24 && ls debian.master
ls: cannot access debian.master: No such file or directory

Both the debian and debian.master folders are deleted immediately after
executing:
git bisect start Ubuntu-3.2.0-14.23 Ubuntu-3.2.0-15.24

This was done after reading the following the bisect example
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBisection?action=recall&rev=10#How_to_bisect_a_sequence_of_commits_to_find_the_bad_one .

Thank you for responding and looking forward to resolving this issue
with the article.
