No you dont have to wipe data/factory reset. you should wipe cache and dalvik cache though.
And what do you mean what should you do next?
You could use first a kernel cleaning script, take a look in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363738.
I have just flash the kernel after cleaning cache and Dalvik.
Thanks to you all that what i want to know

Is that necessary to wipe dalvik cache while flashing kernel???

no. well at least i dont. when i flash a kernel, i dont wipe anything (and i dont encounter any problems)
kernel has nothing todo with rom, so dont wipe needed, even wipe cache isnt needed.
only, if the kernel image have some apps included (maybe you install a small update instead a complete rom), than you have better to wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Actually I read somewhere that we need to wipe... so thanks for Andy n swtnsour..

Wipe Battery stats.
But no need for dalvik cache.
I have a question. I want to switch from Megatron rom(2.2) to void.#forever(2.3.4)
Do i only have to flash the rom or do something before this?

FOrmat System and Wipe Data ofc xD
just to be safe, make a backup in recovery before you do anything. then, wipe data/factory reset, cache, and dalvik cache. after you finish this, you can flash the rom

It's possible to get bootloop when changing rom's, but I have successfully upgrade form CM 7.1 to 7.2 without wipe.

Do you wipe data,cache and dalvik before flashing?
Try to wipe data,cache and dalvik after you installed a Rom

done that doesn't work!
Does it start normally after you wipe after you flashed?
I would try to flash stock 2.3.5 GB or 4.0.3 ICS with stock recovery and the flash cf root with odin.
Try this and then try flashing some roms

Yeah. It's always recommended you do that.
although some kernels do this cleaning during flashing but I still recommended you do it for every kernel to minimise possibility of any problem
