    And there is another version available:

    v1.5.9:
    added: Auto-reboot text clickable
    added: flash verify
    added: more error messages
    fixed: bml blocksize detection on eclair

    The 1.5.6 did not work on eclair - please update to 1.5.9.

    I have updated the app one more time:

    v1.2.1:
    added: PDA.tar and update.zip file support
    added: choose file starts in /sdcard/sgs-kernel-flasher/
    added: lagfix detection and warning

    That means you can now select any .tar or .zip that contains a zImage and the app will automatically extract and flash that zImage.
    Major break through for easy kernel flashing on i9000, Captivate, Fascinate and Vibrant- please propagate this awesome news. :)

    Btw. the app is now on market.

    I currently, have KA7+Voodoo running and since I'm a noob not sure what the upgrade process is to upgrade to the latest KB1+Voodoo?

    If the kernel dev does not say anything about the update process, you are supposed to flash the new kernel.

    Btw: new version available:

    v1.5.6:
    added: java implementation of tar
    added: proper detection of supported flashtypes (only bml, at the moment)
    added: more detailed error messages

    If you're going to flash a kernel which can also read & write ext4, you're safe. So if you want to move from speedmod to voodoo, or vice versa, there is no need to undo lagfix first. But if you want to revert to the original kernel for example, which can NOT read ext4, ext3, ext2 or jfs, then you need to undo the lagfix first and restore the rfs filesystem. If you accidentally mess up, you can always use odin to flash back your previous kernel (make sure you can access download mode). Hope this is helpful.
