Kernel compile for HAL

Next in my sequence of getting slackware 12 set up the way I want it is compiling the kernel.

I want to use the .config that served me in slackware 11. Can anyone please tell me what option I might have to check to make sure that Hal works.

TIA

HAL is a piece of software that provides a view of the various hardware attached to a system. So if the kernel see's it than HAL can do its thing with dbus and so on.
