Last step before getting Custom ROM?

[sfgiants2010]

I already have CWM + 3e recovery as per the video linked in the "Everything". But my problem is that when I try to flash the community v8 kernel needed for Infused 2.2.3, it takes a little while before it just tells me it failed to verify kernel (something along those lines) and then it doesn't flash it. Am I doing something brutally wrong? I already have CWM installed as per the video linked by the "Super Everything" thread on XDA. Could somebody maybe re-upload this kernel please?

Also, if I were to flash a different ROM, like say Serendipity VII, then do I still need to flash a kernel before hand? Or can I just download the ROM to my sdcard and install it with CWM? Thanks for the help!

Sounds like a bad download. Delete the first copy and redownload.

Also, when posting an error, you should post the entire error. "Something along those lines" dosen't really help.
