<truncated> Thanks Matthias, github.com/openSUSE/kernel.git worked just fine - I am working on doing the bisect with it now.

I did a git clone git://github.com/openSUSE/kernel.git -b stable. Then I did the usual make mrproper, make menuconfig (and made sure btrfs and the realtek stuff was included, I made btrfs in kernel instead of module - the machine has / on btrfs), make modules, make modules_install, make bzImage, make install.

After this, I booted into the newly minted 4.8X kernel - only to see that the realtek wifi (and associated realtek ethernet nic) were not detected, and the video driver was mangled as well since the display was horrible. I had no idea why the realtek drivers did not get built, and same for the video. A standard zypper in kernel-default from the regular tumbleweed repos installs a kernel that at least has the proper drivers (except that then the realtek wifi incurs heavy packet loss).

What steps can I follow so that build my own kernel as part of the git bisect includes the same settings and drivers as the standard tumbleweed kernels?

Thank you in advance for your help,

Your configuration is faulty. I recommend using the one from openSUSE. You can find that in /proc/config.gz from a kernel that boots correctly, or in /boot/config-XXXX, where XXXX corresponds to the latest Tumbleweed kernel.
