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.
