Now that most things work without initialization, the Gen.Y Dualboot app is a nice compliment to the Android installation.

Logs for debugging
Download debug.zip from this post. Extract it to your sd card (i.e. into a folder called /Storage Card/debug/).

Then, after a crash, when windows boots up, go into /Storage Card/debug/ and launch haret.exe, then immediately quit. A file should appear in your debug folder called dmesg.txt. This file is the kernel log from the previous android session. It starts off with a bit of junk, and then has the messages the kernel has spit out during your session.

The file's a bit messy, so you have to be a bit of a detective. Take note of the timestamps. If you have booted into android multiple times without fully shutting down the phone, it could write a new log over an old one, and wherever the new one ends, you'll start seeing the old data. (Generally between the new data and the old data there will be a jump in timestamps.)

These logs might give you a hint as to what's causing your system to crash.
makk i'm trying to get a dmesg log for phh and when i do these steps it gives me a dmesg file with:  è‚ ÈT„ ( Ž x Ž  
…  è‚ ÈT„ 0 Ž À Ž  
…  è‚ ÈT„ 8 Ž Ž  
…  è‚ ÈT„ @ Ž PŽ  
…  è‚ ÈT„ H Ž ˜Ž  
…  è‚ ÈT„ P Ž Ã*Ž  
…  è‚ ÈT„ X Ž (Ž  
…  è‚ ÈT„ ` Ž pŽ  
…  è‚ ÈT„

crap in it. what am i doing wrong? i can see it if i use the terminal emulator in android. how do i save that?
