You can look on kernel.org for git pointers, and do man git when you have it
installed. Below is small snippet that I saved off once, but you can search the
web and get tons of instructions, look for "git bisect" or better yet check out
this guide and search in there:

http://www.stardust.webpages.pl/files/handbook/handbook-en-0.3-rc1.pdf

In short:

# install git and cogito on your computer

# clone Linus' tree:
cg-clone \
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git

# start bisecting:
cd linux-2.6
git bisect start
git bisect bad v2.6.18-rc5
git bisect good v2.6.18-rc4

# start round
cp /path/to/.config .
make oldconfig
make
# install kernel, check whether it's good or bad, then:
git bisect [bad|good]
# start next round

After at about 9 reboots, you'll have found the guilty commit
("...  is first bad commit").

More information on git bisecting:
  man git-bisect
