I just rooted and flashed a voodoo kernel yesterday. But when i boot there is no animation and just sound. The phone seems faster but sometimes locks up. I am new to the Galaxy S rooting. I know how to do the Nexus one but this seems harder. Can anyone help me out?

Yeah do you have a verizon fascinate or att captivate/tmobile vibrant

If its a fascinate not all of the old voodoo kernels had boot animations enabled
 
Dirrk D02 1200 standard voltage. I needed to partition the sd to ext4 correct?

coming from n1 i see where u are getting confused. the ext4 is the part that voodoo changes from rfs (crappy samsung filesystem) so you don't format the sd it's not apps to sd. its the 2gb we have on the system memory that your apps go to that is changed to ext4. if you want to save yourself a headache just use geekniks kernels or read up on xda and go in the irc for help. coming from a n1 since feb (1st android) i found them to be very helpful
 
If I were you, I would stick to the newer stuff as s44 said, but also to stay away from voodoo until you know exactly how it works. I would say most of the issues out there stem from improper voodoo flashing.

Try Geeknik's Stupidfast kernels
 
okay. got it off of voodoo but i am hating this stupid lag. what can a flash thats good yet safe?

if you are still on dio1, any of jts 11/1x nonvoodoo were very good performers...and geekniks dio1 kernels at totalnerdity.com/sf were popular
