There is lots of documentation, tutorials and howto documents etc on git
bisect online.

Here are a few:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-bisect.html
http://www.reactivated.net/weblog/archives/2006/01/using-git-bisect-to-find-buggy-kernel-patches/
http://kerneltrap.org/node/11753

http://desprofundis.blogspot.com/2008/06/git-bisect-instructions.html
http://elinux.org/Notes_On_Git_Bisect#bisect

Mostly it's as simple as
install git
clone (usually) Linus' tree
$ git bisect start
$ git bisect bad v[bad-version]
$ git bisect goot v[good-version]
git now checks out a version to test, copy in your config, run make
oldconfig, copile, test, then run
$ git bisect [good|bad]
depending on the result of the test and repeat with the next version git
spits out until git tells you what the bad commit is.
