Root Kernel not changing or showing up

[nejikon]

I tried installing a Kernel for my G2 on MIUI 1.4.1
The Kernel was SavagedZen 2.00 CFS , I also tried the pershoot kernel for Gingerbread but the problem is that every time I install it and go into settings-> about phone; the kernel information doesnt change it stays the same for both kernel installations it has said 2.6.32.39 cyanogenmod root@pershoot-ubuntu #1
What am I doing wrong and how can I install the Savaged kernel properly? Thank You

All you sold have to do is flash the .zip in recovery. Do you get any messages or errors when you try?

I just did a quick google search, is that even a G2 kernel? I've never heard of it, it came back as an evo kernel. Don't try to flash it or you may brick your phone. Only use kernels made for the G2/desire Z.
