Yes, I did figure it out. The kernel that's in the complete package (that you get when you check out manifest.git) is not appropriate for the emulator. You have to get the correct branch.
Here's what I did: $ git clone git://android.git.kernel.org/kernel/common.git $ git checkout -t origin/android-goldfish-2.6.27 -b goldfish $ cd common # the kernel source is now in here $ make goldfish_defconfig Then build it and run it. You can check whether the emulator is indeed running the kernel by specifying the -show-kernel flag to the emulator. If you don't see something about booting the kernel and the usual Linux startup stuff, it isn't actually loading it, which is what will happen if you've built the kernel that's in manifest.git.
