You do a recursive halving of time period when a particular problem
appeared.

For example you know that problem appeared before yesterday and day
of 5.3-RELEASE. You obtain kernel sources for a middle of that period
using cvsup or cvs, build kernel and test it. If problem persists you
half the first half of the period and build another kernel. If problem
disappaers on this kernel, then you half second half of the period.
