I am scared for you to do anything with your phone after what happened last time!
Most Rom's do in fact come with a kernel chosen by or cooked by that dev. What does the baked snack thread on xda say?
Where is it that you are getting your ROM's? Most of this information you ask for is in the first post of each individual ROM's thread on xda
BakedSnackShack.com
it's right there
