Is there documentation on how to do that without doing the whole rpm
process? In my particular case it might not help much because there weren't
It's just a normal kernel bisect and build. Basically:
git bisect good <sha1>, git bisect bad <sha1>, make oldconfig, make
bzImage, make modules, make modules_install, make install. Reboot,

I'm sure there are a number of more verbose howto/guides that google can find.
