Hi!
I have installed Android x86 in one partition thinking on having a dual boot with ReactOS, but I tried to put the typical:
This is not the kernel you specified, but the Initrd.
You need to know the name of the linux kernel file you want to boot (let's say it's called vmlinuz and is inside /android-4.0-RC1/), and the associated initrd file, which appears to be /android-4.0-RC1/ramdisk.img . Then the correct entry for freeloader would be:
Maybe it works, maybe not. If not you have both inside the ramdisk.img which needs to be extracted. Running Grub from Freeloader is possible but I don't know how.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.
If my post/reply offends or insults you, be sure that you know what sarcasm is...
I'm little disappointed because I don't know anything of developing and I don't understand why this isn't functional. I wish I could solve it.
One little bug to take in care is that if I click in "Android x86" with this configuration, screen blinks, and Freeldr starts again, but "Open hive failed" appears in the Screen when you try to access again to ReactOS.
And if I try to copy the Command Line from the grub, it gets stuck in Loading Android x86 and... Nothing happened. So another bug?
My ReactOS is in BTRFS so... I don't know if this should have any relationship. Or the system could find the partition easyly if both of them (Android and ReactOS) works in the same format.
With this Freeldr I was able to boot Windows 7.
EDIT: Trying booting the 3rd partition like Grub, (boottype partition) I get this: "invalid boot sector magic (0xaa55)"
In this case it's impossible to boot Android with Freeldr. (My opinion, open for other ideas)
Android is far away from being a Linux these days. At least in some parts, like here.
ReactOS is still in alpha stage, meaning it is not feature-complete and is recommended only for evaluation and testing purposes.
