have been running my captivate on CM7 with Glitch v13 for a while, and having a lot of force close, and sometimes lockups, so decided to try the new Fasty III KK4 rom, the rom is supposed to have Corn kernel built in.

Well everytime I try to flash the zip in CWM, it says successfully installed please reboot, I reboot and it still show the Glitch boot images, and just sits at that screen for 10+ minutes.

I tried flashing just Corn kernel v7.06, says it finished, still reboots with Glitch logo.

I formatted data and cache, tried factory resets, cleared kernel, cleared dalvik, but it still seems the same everytime.

I was able to successfully flash the Glitch v13.1 update, and re-flash CM7, but I still cant seem to flash any other rom or kernel - any ideas?

CM Roms use a different file system than Samsung based roms (Fasty, Legend, Saurom, etc).

You will need to flash back to a stock image so that it will repartition your device back to the Samsung format. After that you can Odin/Heimdall/CWM flash to your new ROM.
