No, that guide and this one both install a Developer Mode kernel/initramfs and as I understand it you can only have one Developer Mode kernel/initramfs installed at a time. However it might be possible for someone to make a boot menu that lets you choose what kernel/initramfs to run (which would be cool - I'd like to dual boot Android from SD and Angstrom)

It's not impossible, since there can be the same kernel for both cases - but there is needed some user interaction on initrd level (some buttons checks etc.) - like for me it's useless options for this kind of second boot, but for booting argnstrom/mameo - it would be worth to work on it.

installation went fine, booting up works, but SU doesn't

su in terminal says "permission denied", programs requiring root don't prompt for su access

any hints?

Are you sure you have booted "Development mode"? To be certain check "df -h" on terminal (this does not required root) and see if /dev/mmcblk2p1 is mounted as / (second mount from top).
And/or check if in /system/bin/ is "su" command and if in /system/app/ is superuser.apk.

/ # ls -l /system/bin/su
-rwsr-sr-x    1 root     root        26264 Dec 22 13:08 /system/bin/su
/ # ls -l /system/app/superuser.apk 
-rwsr-sr-x    1 root     root       196521 Dec 22 13:08 /system/app/superuser.apk

I am in developer Mode. Sdcard is mounted properly.

I am in the same situation, except for su and superuser.apk which are owned by root, and su also give me permission denied without launching superuser request.

You both have probably "untar'ed" it not as root - and the "+s" flag has not been set up. Or on Linux box change right to those two files, or once again untar it from root account.

chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
chmod 755 /system/app/superuser.apk

ps. Since I haven't wrote it explicite, it should be from root account - I've corrected this in howto.

used a live cd and untared without root. that must be the problem!

thanks for your help

Yep untared without root, will correct it, thanks!
