Just wondered how hard it would be for a Dev to create a kernal that could dual boot Ubuntu and android.
Seeing as getting Ubuntu to run requires kernal mods , could this be put into say the overcome kernal and a script be made to choose what to boot?
How hard would this be??

Just curious this will work for Galaxy S I9000 too?
Any easy apps can do that so far?
Or must do it manually?
Yea it will..but use at ur own risk. No app can create custom Odin image. So do manually as indicated in the thread.

What about dual booting to boot muti roms
You would need custom kernel or custom recovery.

Like doomed or thrillz kernal? What else would i need, want to have selfkang on dual boot
Actually, you'd need a custom bootloader. Not custom like someone already made it. Custom like custom.

No, not a custom bootloader, but a recovery that is custom. You can change or add a script that manages what rom is booting. I have made the roms for x10 and doomlord made the recovery to for them on a locked bootloader. And the init of kernel needs to,be tweaked to match both roms

I HAD AN X10 BUT DOOM haven't made a dual boot recovery for us..you meant boot manager?
zhidzu made the main one for everyone to play with and a few of us used it/tweaked it to make dual roms when camera wasn't working well on gingerbread roms. z made it easy with the chargemon script (doom is a master of scripts) that could be tweaked to do all kind of things
Their was a miui one. Superaosp. Cm7 one
Z is da man of x10 world... But doom did a lot too with ramdisk, scripts, reboot widget, kernels, Boot menu, and more

I have a friend running Android 2.3.7 with a HTC Desire and he was running ubuntu on top of this with a lovely interface. Basically a dual boot with both running at same time. Ubuntu only uses 24mb ram apparently too. Any testers on this??? Thanks. Fraser

Won't work for now.... Since if i'm not mistaking the Galaxy Mini doesn't support the loop stuff in the kernel... Actually it's better to ask squadzone . But probably we will need another kernel.
It will work ..bit with give style cm7 or andro-id...I once installed it on my mini but it was slow and I uninstalled it..but it works

Yeah i will ask squaddy. I was aware of the fact that it needs kernel loop thing. Apparently my rom and kernel supports it anyway and it is supported on mini with correct kernel

Hi !
I just want to know if there is a kernel for Galaxy S which can be able to dual boot CM7 and CM9, like Siyah on Galaxy S2.
Please answer me.
I didn't know anything about this, that would be awesome!

may not be due to RAM.

It's not due to ram. It's not like you have both roms loaded in ram at the same time. You choose what to boot first thing when you turn your phone on.

Its possible to do this but we need a special configuration to chose what to boot and thats the hard thing
