it's so easy,
Download your Custom kernel, put it into the firmware directory of flash tool,
*your phone must be in debugging mode.
run flash tool, Select fastboot mode, and click on flash, select your kernel. and click OK !
follow the on screen instruction.

Hm, I think that after
Code:
fastboot boot boot.img
command you'll get only a hotboot or what is the name. Kernel wont be actually flashed for good. I always use this one:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Before you flash your brand new kernel ,you can check if your device is properly connected by typing:
Code:
fastboot devices
it should print out some info about device, sth like that:
Code:
FBXXXXXXXX
where XXXXXXXXX is some numbers. If this output is shown, you can flash your kernel

Maybe this is the easiest:
Assumed unlocked bootloader:
1: Download Flashtool and the kernel you want (for example the alliance kernel).
2: In settings on your phone: enable debugging and install from other sources. Then turn off your phone.
3. Connect the usb cable to your PC. Hold down the menu button (the one on the right) while you connect the switched off phone to the usb cable. Led should turn blue.
4: Open up flashtool.exe. Press the flash symbol located in the top left corner. Choose 'fastboot mode'>press 'select kernel to flash'(on the right side). Check if the log say okey.
5: Unplug. Turn on, and (if you chose the alliance kernel) tap volume down repeatedly to get to recovery mode, where you can install roms (zip files) from your sd card.
