In clockwork recovery if I make a nandroid backup does that backup the stock kernel too. Also I have hardware lock fix installed will that be gone after I flash a custom rom like bionix thanks for the help

I don't think it backs up the kernel, if you flash a rom with a different kernel and you want to go back to stock you either need to use odin or flash the stock kernel. Search the'sticky' thread, it has all that stuff. Not sure about the hardware lock though

If I was going to reflash a rom with a kernel that's voodoo enabled coming from a ka6+ voodoo. Will the kernel change?

How do I remove a kernal after I've installed it? Do I have to re-flash the rom? I'm sure this has been asked before, and I apologize.

Just flash a different kernel right over the top of it. If you're flashig from a Voddo kernel to a non-voodo kernel make sure to disable voodo.
Thanks.

I'm led to believe that you can't flash any kernel with any ROM. Is this true, or can I flash any Vibrant kernel with any ROM?

Yes its true. You can flash any rom/kernel combo of the same os such as froyo/froyo or gingerbread/gingerbread with the exception of MIUI and CM7 kernel which will only work for those roms.

So say for example, if I were to flash the Platypus kernel while on MIUI 1.5.27, it wouldn't be a problem?

as long as the kernel is labeled with CM7/MIUI in the title, then it's safe to flash to a CM7/Miui rom.
OK thanks.

How would I flash a kernel in recovery? Do I rename the kernel to "update.zip" or just leave it as is and "install zip from sdcard"?
clockwork recovery?
if so then it doesn't really matter
Name will be irrelevant when you flash from recovery. As you stated, just go to Install from Zip, then Choose Zip file, then pick it out. No specific name is required. "update.zip" is only required when you are trying to initially flash CWM Recovery onto your phone. Otherwise, files for ROMs, Kernels, Modems, etc. can have whatever name as long as they are a .zip file.
And SGS Kernel Flasher, free on the market, is easier.
