This was progressing fine until I ran into an issue that makes the kernel unstable causing it to crash at semi-random times. I'm down to about 350 commits left in the bisect. I've tried:

git reset --hard HEAD~3
no luck, same problem, unstable
then I tried --hard HEAD~50
no luck, same problem, unstable

I'm concerned about moving too much further in the "~" direction, will this cause me other problems?
