Can you provide a link to the kernel .zip file you're using as well as any error message you received or how you determined it was "not a good kernel"?
having more than one kernel in a .zip file is going to be a bit of a headache because the developer could be using some custom program, aroma script, or the generic updater-script, to code out how to determine which kernel to use. sometimes this coding can be very device specific and or could be more general. essentially, there are many variables involved here that usually require a lot of specific coding thus creating a bit of a headache in how to properly modular support for all devices, while coding up a specific device implementation.
now the command line parameters are very short and generally not a big deal, although depends on what type of edits are being made. since no technical details have been provided, could you provide a link to the kernel .zip? i can research the commands and process to determine what the kernel developer is attempting to accomplish. generally, there are a few ways to accomplish the same end goal, but never know until i see the code!
thanks for all the feedback and support. the more technical the details are that are shared, the more helpful the feedback is!
a few of the links i have in my email and am researching:

Thank you for directing me here from your other thread, first of all.
So, am I right in saying that simply by extracting the one relevant zImage file, it won't be able to flash the kernel?
Sorry, kernel's have never been a strong point for me, especially not with the whole S-ON thing. Haven't really tried kernels since the Wildfire.
Thanks
