Are you using a new or different card, make sure you have done the Prepare your CF card section on that link you sent.

Thank you so so much it was driving me crazy, that was exactly what the problem was, I didn't realize I had to prepare each card to boot from.

Hey guys having an issue with the new builds.
Original had an early build from back in August on my 7D that I put on using the process in this post http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=7464.0
Just tried out the new Nov11 Tragic Lantern build and it loads the first time after I do a firmware update but the next time I load it freezes the camera and I have to wipe the ML files and replace them to make it work again.
Anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

i was thinking today when recording some raw footage with magic lantern raw
and i thought of the possibility of creating a device that will run magic lantern but this device will be the camera's brain's so to speak and it will just use the sensor of the camera (basically not using the camera's digit processor). the device would be like a sort of mini computer doing all the work and use the cameras sensor.

This wouldn't work, you seem to have things backwards, the magic lantern firmware was made to unlock features of the camera it doesn't actually do a lot of processing itself as the hardware handles a lot of it, the real issues are not really how much power the camera has but how to get the footage out of the camera as quick as possible, the USB port is far too slow to be transferring that type of data and the CF card speeds are a bit of a bottleneck but the with the HDMI it might be possible to dump the raw footage as another user mentioned as a possible solution, taking the actual ML software of the camera itself would be pointless.

Is it possible to output a clean uncompressed/RAW image out through the HDMI port, if so wouldn't we theoretically be able to record at the cameras max resolution.....

This suggestion makes more sense seeing as HDMI is capable of transferring quite a bit, it would still require ML on the camera and have it output the raw data through the HDMI port to an external recorder which is what a lot of pro film cameras do to my understanding.
I would say it all depends on what versions of HDMI is the 7D using as that would make a significant difference and if it's even possible at all for the ML devs to dump data this way which might just be impossible to begin with nor would it be high on their todo list ATM, I hope not it would be fantastic to bypass the CF card limitations.
