Why you must recompile the kernel?, the current dist support almost any hardware!! If you really need to do that: You must compile the Kernel with the hardware of the laptop, there is not need to include your desktop hardware.
kernel-package in woody dist, can help you to achive the .deb package easily. I also recomend you that have a look to: http://www.digitalhermit.com/linux/Kernel-Build-HOWTO.html Is a very good reference. Regards.
