i don't know about some special method for recompiling dapper kernel ...

try apt-get install linux-source ... and then tar xzf or tar xjf, copy
/boot/config-x.y.z to /usr/src/linux-x.y.z/.config, make oldconfig, make
menuconfig, make-kpkg --revision 2006.08.17 kernel-image ... done

i'm using this method many years in debian ... sometime i'm using
vanilla kernel instead apt-get install linux-source ...
