[aklug] Compiling a kernel for Ubuntu Dapper

I need to compile a new kernel for Dapper. Why? Well, I have software
that requires Dapper so I can't upgrade to Gutsy etc... The system has
an Intel Core 2 Duo 6300. The Dapper kernel only sees one core. It
should show me two cores or two processors.

Before I rush out and download the latest kernel I thought It would be
best to ask for help.

    * How do I compile a kernel the Debian way?
          o never don it the Debian way
    * How do I make sure I get the settings for the current working kernel?
          o Thinking "oldconfig" etc...
    * How do I make sure I get all the drivers / modules compiled?
          o My hardware needs to work after the kernel boots

Just so you know /proc/cpuinfo in Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) shows me two
processors.
