I don't think anybody has done it yet, probably because we just got source for the kernel a few days back and are busy trying to work out kernel issues and get the source merged up with more recent patches, etc.
But I imagine this approach used on the Tegra 2 dev kit would work, with the patches from Viewsonic/TNT: http://developer.nvidia.com/tegra/forum/workaround-run-ubuntu-now
There's also this stuff: http://www.carrypad.com/2010/10/01/hacked-toshiba-ac100-ubuntu-10-10-is-running/
Again, you'd need to build your own kernel that would work with that.

Hello people,
This is my first post here, so I hope I am putting this in the right place. If not, sorry, please move it.
Anyway, as you all are aware, ICS source code was released a couple days ago, so I decided that I would see if I could begin constructing a ROM based off AOSP for the G2x.
As predicted, it did not go well. I pulled the build makefiles and the like from CyanogenMod (hope that's okay), and tried to use those as device-specific build instructions. I got everything to compile with no errors, and the ROM successfully installed, but does not boot.
Best I can tell, the phone gets through the kernel boot alright, but halts at the "A N D R O I D" screen (no boot animation file is included). The touch panel seems to be responsive.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

I think there were two other devs in this thread trying to get ICS up and running as well. They could probably help.

Thanks for the link. I am working on changing the init.rc as per one particular post. I'll see if that works.

We have 3 people working on it... your assistance would be of great help
Okay, so I tested the idea of changing the bootclasspath in init.rc, and it didn't seem to be helping much. In fact, it may have hindered things. Before the modifications, the phone would finish going through the two lg splash screens. Now, it hangs on the second. Suspect bad merge of ramdisk and kernel. But as for now, sleep is calling. I will work on it more tomorrow.
And I'm glad I can be of help. If you would like, I could throw what I have on megaupload, see if what I have is valuable.
You don't have ICS built device drivers and the kernel needs to be built for ICS. If you do not get it to boot nothing will work except maybe the touchscreen if you are lucky.
Right. Device drivers. But we were able to port Gingerbread to this device with Froyo drivers, yes? What about compiling the ICS kernel source (if it is out) for the G2x. Would that yield any kind of results?

This is sounding a lot like the Hackintosh driver hacks, which I've done, to get the Mac OS to run on PC hardware of various kinds. In that world, drivers from previous iterations and versions of the Mac OS are merged into the Mac OS to enable various PC hardware which Apple didn't support in the new OS version. One example is the video drivers which Apple supplies for very few video cards but have been hacked to run other, non-supported video cards. As well, Apple is notorious because it orphans perfectly useable and upgradeable Apple Mac hardware by not providing video drivers for it in new releases of the Mac OS. When Mac OS 10.7 was released some people used the Mac OS 10.6 hacked and/or unhacked video drivers and hacked video drivers for OS 10.7 to keep their PC display hardware working. Keep trying.
Got the kernel source. I'll start messing around with it today.
Hey there,
is there already a working kernel for the TF300T supporting loop devices to run Linux in a shell and accessing it via VNC?
I already tried Asus builds .17, .26, .29 as well as Cyanogen 9 experimental but evertime i tried, loop device creation failed.
It would be awesome to run Linux on the Transformer
Thanks for responses
That would be nice. Just tried it with AOKP and it didn´t work.
You're not the only one who would like this. One of the reasons I'm considering getting a keyboard dock is to run this very setup.
Of course. Many of us have got linux up and running already.
If you're talking about a chroot linux environment, that is.
All you need is root.
On WW, that is, but it would be strange if the other originals haven't got the same kernel.
That sounds interesting.
Could you provide us with a link or guide on how you or others got it working?
Best regards

It works now for me. Seems .29 build has workin loop devices. In my case the bootscript for the ubuntu image was faulty (it contained wrong paths to busybox).

Hey,
I've been waiting long enough with installing Ubuntu on my device.. With the bootloader unlocked it's quite possible now, right?
Could someone maybe provide som links with info on the subject?
Cheers.
Worth bumping?
Is it even possible yet? Does it differ that much from installing it on TF201?
I also can't wait to (dual) boot this fine piece of machinery with Ubuntu.
There's a guy that has been quite successful with the Prime -- Google: androiroot mobi ubuntu
His latest Ubuntu-related post was on June 16. I'm not sure if he's done any work on it since.
i'm also VERY interested in this. googled for a while but couldn't find a tutorial suited for a noob like me.
seems like the bootloader has to be modified? and nvflash to create the needed partitions for multiboot?
Has anyone had any luck getting this to work? and if so how did you do it?
Thanks,
I really want to get my tf700 setup in a dual boot set up, but I am a noob when it comes to rooting and modifying android: so I would need a though tutorial.
About Asus TF700
Hello everybody!
Anybody have a progress in dual boot Ubuntu and Android?
Or maybe someone can install Ubuntu or other Linux OS to greatest device ever created by Asus - TF700???
I heard that TF201 already has an Ubuntu ported to it. I think that Ubuntu will provide some functions, that can't provide Android, I really need "Terminal" on my device and Python language, "Synaptic" and many other...
Please do someting that many users all over the world have an opportunity to install Ubuntu on Asus TF700!!!

Hello all,
I have an interesting problem I would love some information about. I recently bought an Asus Transformer Pad (TF300T). I have already unlocked the bootloader via the Asus utility, flashed TWRP recovery, and rooted it. Now I'm interested in the possibility of dual-booting.
I know that Ubuntu has support for ARM, but I have no experience installing something like that on a device like this. Ideally, I would install Ubuntu (or another Linux distro that supports ARM) to the external SD card and be able to choose at boot time to boot into Ubuntu or into Android. I have seen that some people did something like this on the TF101, but I don't know if that would still work.
If anyone has any ideas about this, I would appreciate hearing them.
Thanks,
Vincent

hi to help to answer your question, if im correct because we do not have much support for building custom kernels to support dual booting into linux, that is a reason why currently there is zero support towards this feature, but there are alternatives, here is a link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...MsImNvbS56cHdlYnNpdGVzLmxpbnV4b25hbmRyb2lkIl0.
this link has an application to install linux on your asus tf300t tablet, it is confirmed to work with stock, but has not been tested on a custom rom, this is using the CHRoot method, aka running next to android requiring a vnc viewer to be used to view it and interact with it. this is not a dual boot, until developers on here can get a JB custom kernel that supports dual booting, there will simply be no possibility, plus we do not even have finished NVFlash files yet to help doing this/ unbrick our tablets. i hope this helped, if it did please hit the thx button below
Dual booting for TF300T
I am currently trying to Dual Boot the TF300T with Ubuntu as well with little success.
I've been going from the TF101 Method...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer/How_to_install_Ubuntu/Ubuntu_Install
I have been unable to get Frank'sTools to Run through Windows, or Successfully use OliFE through Linux on my PC.
With OLiFE, Once I enter that I wish to Dualboot in the 2. Flash option, Nothing happens. Though it says it should ask me which system should be default etc. I have gone through the sh files and have tried to tweak them a bit to get the scripts to work, but nothing has worked.
There is a guide here for the TF201 which I am thinking of trying but you have to flash the boot.img whenever you want to switch between the OS by the look of it.
Not sure if it is worth trying though. The main reason why I want Linux is so that I can run DSUME since the current DS Emulator for Android isn't fantastic yet. (Good job so far though guys)
If Anyone has any ideas for how to Dual boot the TF300T, please let me know!!! I don't want to run linux through Android as this would be terrible for emulation
P.S. I am still a complete noob at all of this
I know that the chipset used in the only wifi version is same as the one used in odroid-q/x so i was wandering id i can take their ubuntu boot img and use it to boot ubuntu nativ on the note tablet. I don't have the appropriate knowlegde to understand the differences of compatibility so thats why i
m asking you if it's possible?
