Flashing any kernel?

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.

Our note isn't supported by rom manager at this time. The only way I've seen in the dev section is to flash cwm via Odin.

CWM
You can just flash it via the CWM installed right on your phone now.
Don't use Rom manager!
Yep... don't use ROM manager!!!
It doesn't go good with Samsung phones.

It doesn't matter. Just flash the ROM first. U can boot straight into the ROM then flash the kernel ltr again. Or u can just flash the ROM and followed by the kernel. Rmb. ROM first then kernel.
