coming from the captivate community so i dont know. i dont see why it shouldn't be. but i hear that only certain kernels are compatible with certain radios? and how could i flash a different kernel?
Works the same as the captivate. Kernels are compatible based on android os version, don't try to flash a gb kernel on a froyo rom, vice versa. They can be flashed via cwm. When in doubt read the op of the kernel thread.

Can I use any kernel on any device? or does the kernel have to be made for the specific device? I.E can i use a kernel in the captivate section on my Inspire?
if not is there a voodoo or voodoo based Kernel for the Inspire?

No, kernels are made from source code. So they are device specific. Asop and sense kernels are different also. So cm7 kernels wont work on htc sense based roms.

No. And you can't use a froyo kernel on a ginger bread ROM, etc.
So i'm currently running rubix focused 2.0.1 and I wanna try some other ones out as well. But they require certain kernels or that you at least be at or above a certain kernel version. My kernel version is 2.6.32.9. So do I have to sbf eveytime I wanna flash a new rom. For example I would like to install darkslide or liberty. What would I have to do to make my phone able to flash one of thoses?

Do all kernells work with all roms???:confused
htc desire
an does this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=682419
work with the rom:RCMixHD
Not all kernels work for all ROM's. Some are made up for Froyo, and some for Gingerbread. I read the OP and I did not see any restrictions, so it is probably fine for 2.2 and 2.3. Also, make sure the kernel is for your phone. You cannot use a kernel made for another phone. Make a nandroid backup before you flash.
Edit: I just saw you have a desire and the phone was from the desire forum...soooo you should be good..but like I said, you should make a backup before flashing anything.
kernel
I'm currently running the COS-DS 2.3.3 ROM with the latest BiffMod 2.2.1 Kernel. It works better than the kernel, which comes with COS-DS, but not every kernel will work with every rom. It also depends on your phones hardware.
nope. the kernels are set for certain types of roms.

Razor's kernel is the Defuse kernel but yes, you can flash the different kernel over your current rom. But the Defuse kernel does appear to have a couple bugs in it so I wait wait a little bit.
thank you very much
if the android version is the same and they are for the same device it is very likely for the rom and kernel to be compatable. exceptions touch wiz roms need touch wiz kernels, aosp kernels need aosp roms, sense roms need sense kernels. there are some rare situations where a rom and kernel build need to match like some gingerbread versions for the i9000 dont work with kernels from certain other gb versions. but since we only have 2 firmware builds and they dont have a conflict between them you should be able to use any rom with any kernel unless the des did something wierd to get a feature working.
So I've been flashing various roms, kernels, and radios onto my Nexus S since the release. I've never read to deeply into the exact procedure for flashing these items.
I know you are suppose to wipe device, cache, davik, ect. But then are you suppose to flash the rom, reboot the device, and then flash the kernel and radio?
What if you wiped the device and just flashed a rom without a kernel? Does the kernel you have previously take into effect or is it built into the rom?
No, Roms come with a kernel. If you don't flash a kernel you will have whatever kernel the developer uses in his/her Rom.

Wha? Not all ROM's come with kernels... if you flash one that does not have a kernel then you will be left with what you had before (stock).
