【Question】About the Kernel（boot.img）using

[[email protected]]

The lasest CM7 and CM9 based on froyo kerenel or gb kernel which are using the same boot.img kernel from foryo or gb.

I wonder why does these build use the boot.img by adviced?
May some system files are from this kernel boot.img ?
Is there any relationships?
or just you adviced to use this kernel by no reason just with feeling good?

or could we use the other boot.img from the other froyo one or gb one?

Thanks!

firstly, there are many differences between froyo kernel and gingerbread one. such as the camera driver(green lens and red lens), the 3d driver and sth else. that's the reason it is hard to build a rom which can boot based on either two kernels.
secondly, there are differences among froyo(gb) kernels. e.g. remember there's one time we cannot boot into bootmenu with the asia froyo kernel? it shows there must be some differences among froyo kernels, although not as many as differences between froyo and gb kernel.
i think things above explain why there's always a recommend kernel. devs are working on the rom based on a specific kernel, and have no time to test it compatibility with other resembling kernels, although sometimes there's no compatibility problem.
