These steps are correct for recompiling a similar kernel version with
new options. There is also info on the help site 
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum/software/CustomKernel and there
are threads in the forums.

HOWEVER, if, as seems likely, new kernel infrastructure is needed, such
as newer module-init-tools, then you need to provide those too. As I
said, a kernel upgrade for Dapper was considered unlikely by the
backports people for this reason (IIRC)
