He is on gb bootloaders, and cm9 is not compatible with it. Jt has to make it work, prob fastest way is asking entropy or someone to get help. People on froyo bootloaders (like me) can flash his current one. Its not full hw accel yet though, he needed the bootloaders.
Edit: someone on gb bootloaders, try this: flash through either heimdale or odin a GB rom! Flash with bootloaders checked. Then flash through odin or heimdale the froyo bootloaders. Maybe try doing it twice? Idk if that is necessary though.

ugh...that was ****ing ridiculous
I originally started off with the kernel source used for CM7. Apparently that doesn't work as is. Switched to the latest kernel drop from Samsung for the AT&T version, and that boots using GB bootladers Now just have to reapply 100 ****ing kernel patches lol.

that does not sound fun...
I don't know if it will help, but way back when, we had froyo roms.
Then the Canadian's Rogers Infuse showed up with GB.
All the customs kernels are derived from Rogers'.
Initially, when the Infuse was running with Froyo and then tried a GB based rom, without boot loaders, there was a rainbow, multicolor effect.
It still happens today on occasion, especially when a user use GTG's ultimate unbrick back to froyo and install a GB rom.
The unbrick - using repartition and pit files - may erase the previously installed GB bootloaders.
The work around has been to odin a GB leak, heimdall a Gb leak to obtain bootloaders.
I can't remember who, but one of the kernel dev (Linuxbozo, bedwa, gtg or Entropy) came up with a fix - and that was the end to the rainbow thread.

I have noted a few other users getting rid of rainbow simply by flashing entropy's kernel - i'm not sure if infusion kernel works too...there maybe some thing added to those kernels that "unlocks" or bypass the GB bootloaders.

The problem was that I flashed GB bootloaders, and they would not work with the kernel I was using that was based on the CM7 (rogers) source code. No rainbow, just no boot. At that point I couldn't downgrade the bootloaders, so I switched to the newest kernel source from AT&T. It seems to work fine with the new kernel source and ROM, no rainbow effect, and fixed the issues I was having that caused me to start messing with the bootloaders to begin with. At this point everything seems to work OK with the GB bootloaders, no idea if it works at all with froyo bootloaders.
I think you may have 2 options:
1: To install the ICS CM kernel, one needs to use gtg's unbrick w/ repartition back to froyo - erasing the GB boot loader lock. So ics will run w/o gb bl.
2. Use GB BL's and develop with the new gb kernel source codes or hack on the the preexisting gb kernels
Briefly from what I remembered trying to read those threads back then, I think you will need to use the GB BL if you are going to use the GB kernels.
Bedwa, Entropy or LB may give you more specifics answers
preview
Here's a preview build now that my source tree is mostly sorted out: http://www.mediafire.com/?1nhagihfoqqpkf3
To flash, you must first flash this recovery: http://www.mediafire.com/?2000k5y512spft4
Then boot into recovery, wipe data/cache, go to mounts and storage and format system, then flash the rom. Gapps are here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120317-signed.zip . You'll probably have to mount system manually under mounts and storage before flashing gapps.
I've only tested this using gingerbread bootloaders, no idea if it works using froyo bootloaders. If you don't want to deal with the caveats of gb bootloaders, then well, fix it yourself.
what works:
radio (calls/sms/data)
touchscreen
audio
wifi
sensors
hw acceleration
software and hardware video decoding
data usage monitor (for wifi at least)
what doesn't work:
camera/camcorder
bluetooth
anything else is either broken or completely untested.

Followed the process, CM9 Booted up. It's working so far
does the radio work?
I am able to send texts, make calls, and connect to data if that's what you mean.
ROFL...camera was easier to fix than expected. ugh I need sleep
haha go get some sleep! You deserve it. Also I don't know if you are having this issue as well, but my phone wont connect to my computer in USB Storage mode.

lol again. build date on my current kernel is March 11. I built it before I had the device in hand and yes, I had fun porting, thanks

thrice the lols...yes, I have built it here's a video for all the kiddies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NO2EE9ct-Wc&feature=youtube_gdata_player (crappy quality, but you get the gist )
herp derp good nite15
You should have a flashable zip.
Oh... See attached... (specific location censored...)
Got a line on Bluetooth from LB too.
