how can I boot Linux from my SD, using magldr?

Switch your sd card with sim card. Should fire right up.

I am wondering this,
The only ubuntu linux Iv found is haret based.
Put this on my SD card and it will not boot from magldr.
Upon researching iv found nothing except one interesting post Iv read in the original magldr thread stating that haret based android builds wont boot from SD with magldr.
Iv read that the reason for this is that they rely on windows mobile making the initial system calls.
I think we need some kind of zimage built for magldr.

Ok so here is my issue,
I recently installed MAGDLR and got Stock Desire ROm running and everything is perfect until I found out that I am unable to run my android ROMS from the SD card!
From the MAGDLR bootloader, i press on boot android from SD = nothing happens.
I realized that maybe haret.exe needs 2 be on the SD card root. So i moved the files.
The bootloader detects the files and boots into Android from SD but then gets stuck at the custom bootloader image of the android ROMS
Tried different ROMS but in vain.
Eversince I installed MAGDLR, I am completely unable of running any ROM from SD.
Does anyone have the same issue or is it only me?
I feel there is a very simple thing I missed and I will feel like an idiot once I know lol.
Any suggestions? I really like testing different ROMS.
Me too, i tried the MIUI ROM from SD (normal rom version) and stucked at MIUI bootloader image.

Did u move ur system files from folder "Android" to the root of the card like I did?
Or was haret.exe already in the root of ur card by default?
I am thinking that this file moving might have caused this
I'm not sure you need to move your files. You can actually configure the Android directory in magldr's settings.
I'm not sure current SD builds are that compatible with being launched from magldr, though. First thing I tried after installing magldr was launching my old m-deejay DesireHD build, but it would just freeze immediately after displaying "preparing sd-card".

ya seems like old SD android ROMS are not compatible with MAGDLR. I thought they would be
Does anyone know what we or the devs can do to resolve this? My builds on SD also freeze at preparing SD card.

AFAIK magdlr cant read the required settings over the startup.txt still, but it would, read the first post over the magdlr thread by cotulla, it would even load wm6.5 and wp7 builds over NAND! its a matter of time (and patience )

Same here, I installed Mgrldr 1.11 in order to use MDJ nand hd superlight 2.2, but nand is today and at this point too..... Experimental !!!!! to be use daily.
I manage to load my "OLD !" SD Android, but it stucks on homescreen while charging SD card, very frustrating...
just trying to find a link to where I can boot android of sd and have wp7 on nand...i know wp7 formats the sd after the first boot so you would have to load it on after the boot...I'm just looking for a link

This is not currently possible.
Probably will be in the future in one way or another but not yet.
Booting android from the sd card is done via haret which wont work on WP7.
no way to do iit threw magldr ? I just wanna b able to have the best of both worlds until they figure out how to place both on nand(1024leos) well if they decide to do it

It will become possible at some point. By creating a partition on NAND and flashing both (I think).
But at the moment as far as I know its not possible yet.
I dont follow the MAGLDR updates that much because I use "WM / SD Droid" so perhaps one of the MAGLDR addicts might be able to give you a more detailed answer as to when and how it will be possible.
Someone please help me out. I have tried this many times with different builds and got no success. I put the SD android folder on the root, then I do the rootfs and startup.txt crap(not sure if I'm doin it right), then I go to magldr, put the adsd directory, boot from SD, an it just stays on the boot screen. This happened with EVERY build, i don't know why. Some one please let me know how to get a SD build working on magldr. Maybe I did something wrong with rootfs....?

You are running WP7 right?
No. Android on nand

Well that is your problem then. You can only use SD Android builds with MAGLDR if you are running WP7. You can't use a SD build with MAGLDR if you are running Android from NAND.

Not true. I have Android on nand and an SD build booting from magldr. You just have to use a magldr-compatible build. The one in my sig listed AD SD works good. Little laggy, but its a DHD build so its to be expected.

I stand corrected then, I was under the understanding that you could not boot from SD card while running android from NAND. Thanks for the info and to the OP and anyone else that read my previous post I appologize for posting false information.
try to wait longer
i've waited longer than 15 minutes while trying to boot an sd card build
the first boot takes the longest.
what class is your sd card?
So I've tried searching to the answer of this question for a couple days now, with no luck. I am currently running ANDROID 2.2 via NAND on my HTC HD2 with a 16GB SD Card. With that said I was wondering if there is any possible way to also boot another build of ANDROID via my SD CARD though MAGLDR?
I like having the stability of having the certain ROM i have now on my NAND, but I would like to try out other ROMS and just run them off the SD CARD. I tried partitioning the SD card with no luck. I try to boot the ROM on my SD CARD through MAGLDR but after a while it just reboots into my NAND ANDROID ROM.
Does anybody know how I can run ANDROID via NAND and another ANDROID build via SD CARD???
I believe I've seen this asked before and the answer was no its not possible. I'm really not 100% sure but I'm rather curious now. I will try to find the thread I seen the post in & report back.

An easy run around would be to keep the roms you like most on your sd card & just flash them when you want a change. I keep 3 on my sd card for just that reason.

Ive heard a lot of people running multiple android version with magldr..one on nand, the other ons are sd builds.
You can also have wp7 on nand and run a android sd build from sd.
Never tried a sd build on magldr, so cant say how to do that - using clk and the sd boot is just in comming -, just read some stickies with tutorials yourself...but its to 100% possible

i use a nand android (sense eclipse) and two sd builds (american android and 3 dak's miui rom). if you look at sd android thread you can easily find sd builds supporting mgldr.to do that partitioning of sd is not necessary. the only trouble may be about sd-ext,since some applications may transpass from one rom to the other via sd-ext. so if you can disable using sd-ext for sd-roms you'll have no problem.
I just got my hd2 and I'm wondering how I can install windows 7 on my SD card because I already have Android on my nand.
I'm a complete idiot at these things so a step by step guide would be ideal

windows phone 7 is nand only currently sorry
i believe you will have to have Android on SD and WP7 is only NAND. I could be wrong, but there are some tutorials here and even on youtube on how to dual boot android and WP7
here is tutorial for dualboot with WP7 and android....
