FINALLY! No hang up after reboot with activated modules! I'm finally into ML - Yess! 
(some may remember - I'm maybe the only guy who had that kind of trouble with Alpha, TL and so on...)

Can't reproduce (tried with both current source and current nightly on fresh card).

Thank you for the test.
I thought that because otherwise there would be corresponding posts to be found here...

What about

In the Debug section there is a point called Memory Error. This has a red circle left of it and to the right the info "underflow, overflow".
When I go into that row ("mouse over") the bottom help text says in the 2nd line in a yellow font "underflow, overflow[31](0) at menu.c:866, task IPCTask."

?

Is that normal or could the problem be here?
Are there incompatible boot-firs out there?
I use the 7D_203.fir from tragiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2014Feb11.7D203 to boot from the CF card.
(The ML nightly has no FIR in the package)

g3gg0 merged the mlv_sound pull request => nightly builds are back: http://builds.magiclantern.fm/

I just tested with the zip downloaded above.
No fw upgrade possible, but with a 7D_203.fir that works.
ML runs proper again, but freezes with an activated module again 

As I scrolled through the ML features I only saw one thing that could be helpful:

Could that be the problem?
Or what does it mean?

Nope, they won't match between the 2.

Sorry didn't mean it that way. I don't know how I have to write it, that you do understand my problem.
Read tons of posts and all infos I found here but didn't find an answer, so I try to explain here for the third time:

I have a 7D 2.0.3.
I download ONE firmware version (ML, link see above, OR TL link see above).
I format a checked and working CF Card internally in the 7D.
I copy ONE firmware (whole ZIP content) on that fresh SD card.
I power on the 7D.
I start firmware update process and get ML (OR TL) running just fine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SO FAR IT WORKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I go into the modules menu.
I chose (simplest way) one module (say dual_iso).
I activate it and get the text info that I have to reboot the 7D in order to get the module running.
I reboot the 7D.

After that reboot, the 7D ends up in a frozen Q-Screen.
No buttons work, even the on/off switch doesn't work.

To get the 7D running again I have to take out the (original) LP-E6 of the original Canon battery grip.

All I want(ed) to know from you is what I might do wrong and how I get running modules instead of a total freeze.
(On every try I format the card in cam and copy the whole zip-package. No mixed data. Always proper ML (or TL) but every time a full freeze after reboot with an (or more) activated module(s)).

I hope, now I explained it in a way you understand. If not, please ask, what you don't understand or have to know to help me.

Make sure the modules folder that came with the bin is on the card. The symbols file is in ml/modules/[camera name].sym

I'm a well experienced Win/Mac user and am working as a creative pro for over 10 years.
When I unzip a package I can handle it to copy all the files (incl. the modules folder) onto a correctly formatted SD card (I also posted the links of the latest packages I used).
I'm just new to the use of ML with modules and have freezes, when I activate any module from the modules folder on the card (e.g. ml/modules/dual_iso.mo).

Have to match the symbols file with autoexec.bin when you switch them.

What I don't understand: do the symbols files in http://tl.bot-fly.com/tragiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2014Feb11.7D203.zip and http://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/job/7D.203/33/ not match?
Does everyone have to edit them who wants to test the packages?
If yes, how?
7D_203.sym has 1.490 lines of code.... (and yes, of course I have 2.0.3 on my 7D, NOT 2.0.5)
The ML menue only says that the activated module(s) will be loaded after a reboot. Nothing about editing work.

I just beg for a little help on a level, a beginner can understand (whole sentences or a tutorial link I've missed).

You're a pro, I'm not. Switching what, matching how?
I just wanna have a ML/TL version that works with modules like dual iso or raw video on without freezing.

I downloaded both, copied them (one after another in different tests - not together) on a in camera fresh formatted SD card and tried it.
I didn't tweak anything, just activated the module(s). Then I resetted like ML/TL said and after the reboot everything freezes every time.

New clean copy on fresh formatted card runs again (without modules activated).
Sadly I didn't find a noob tutorial here. Everyone posts "cool, now I have dual iso" and stuff... no word about freezing. No mention what's to do to get modules working.

Hello, I'm new in the forum, but following this project since the beginning.

I had the Alpha2 installed when it came out and tested
http://tl.bot-fly.com/tragiclantern-v2.3.NEXT.2014Feb11.7D203.zip
as well as
http://builds.magiclantern.fm/jenkins/job/7D.203/33/
recently.

Booting into ML/TL via FW update works in both cases without problems.

Now my big problem:
Both firmwares hang up/freeze my 7D after reboot as soon as I activated any module.

Can you please help me out here?
If I can test anything to help, just say, what I have to do. (most wanted are dual iso & RAW video)
