Subject: [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.

  Dapper supports SMP.
  There is no longer a need to install a separate kernel.
