[Verizon] Custom ROM question: should kernel, Base and Radio version match?

[dabomb224]

So I've had my eye on a new Kernel that I want to install, but as a former Droid X-er, I'm not quite sure what is involved. If I install a designated 4.0.3 kernel, do I also have to install a 4.0.3 ROM and radio?

The kernel may be able to run on a 4.0.2 rom but you will likely need to see what the dev has stated in their post about the kernel. AFAIK the stock radio should be fine with a 4.0.3 rom/kernel.

When flashing a new kernel, if you're on a 4.0.2 ROM then you must flash a kernel that is listed compatible with 4.0.2 ROMs. Same goes for 4.0.3.

The order is flash ROM, then kernel

Just be sure to follow any instructions given by the developer of that ROM or kernel as to what preparations to make before your flash.
