You would need to make sure you have a kernel source that is compatible with your specific phone (may need to get that from HTC rather than from Google's AOSP), and have configured it right.
You may be able to find a config.gz on the phone, perhaps under /proc Also, the phone probably wants not a bare kernel but a kernel concatenated with an initial ramdisk image. You can probably strip the one off the existing kernel and re-use it. You might check on xda-developers and see if there is anyone building kernels for your phone. Are you sure that you are managing to flash it right? Most of the carrier-marketed phones don't permit this out of the box, and required finding a root exploit bug in the running system, using that to flash a new recovery image, and using that to replace the main kernel (well, okay, you could reflash the main kernel directly from user mode, but if it doesn't work you'll have to revert to factory before you can boot and reflash anything else).
