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.

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.

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.

How about mix the 2.2 kernel with 2.3.3 userland?
I hear people talking about updating kernel on a CWM rom, im currently using CoreDroid DHD v5.4 With the kernel that came with it. im checking my kernel info and it has a date of march 9 on it. so can i use the kernel update utility 9 on this rom to update it. also i here people talking about changing kernels whats that all about.
Thx in advance
CWM is merely the acronym for ClockWork Mod, the recovery.

Ok i meant a kernel for a coredroid DHD rom, is there any kernels
I just made a post about this yesterday when some one was asking about battery life, but I will post again.
The only roms that have custom kernel are the ones who's source has beeen released, or have been built from source ie. Froyo builds, CM7 builds, Miui builds. None of the ginger bread roms based on the leaked DHD have custom kernels, and probably won't have custom kernels. HTC is more then likely not going to release the source to their leaked rom. Also when flashing kernels you don't not want to switch bases, meaning you don't want to flash a CM7 on Coredroid (gingerbread) or a Froyo based rom.
If your still a little confused about what a kernel is, think of it this way ( I forget who said it in a thread before me), but a Rom is what you see on the screen, and a Kernel is what makes it happen.

Close but not quite, there is a custom OC/UV kernel for several different gingerbread roms. here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050106
i have used this kernel with coredroid 5.4 and it works flawlessy

Very well it came out four days ago. Even though what I said is still true there still isn't a custom kernel from the dhd source, because HTC more then likely won't release it. Good to see they ported one though.

true, i'll give you that one. that's the nice thing about linux through it's open source nature makes for the ability to use one devices code to create a work of art for another device.
Coredroid is using leedroids latest custom kernel. It doesn't work well with 5.4 but works greatttttt with 6.0!!

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.
Is there a voodoo kernel for 2.3.4 available or in the works?
Sent from my SCH-I510 using Tapatalk
No.
In order to put voodoo into the kernel, the developers need the source code for the 2.3.4 kernel. That source code hadn't been released yet.

How is it that people can put make kernels for 2.3.4 then? I am having an issue with getting service with such kernels.

not true, but it makes it much harder...also hacked voodoo kernels arent going to be as good obviously as a true source built one with other optimizations put in

you can do certain things to the stock kernel, but others (bln, overclock, undervolt) you need source for...thankfully supercurio updated voodoo control plus ($4) for fascinate gingerbread (idk about charge)
