HI, I am trying to build the custom kernel from the kernel source which is inside the Android source dir. To build the kernel I just followed the steps given in the following thread
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/e24eb299383e9103/34e8c50b2b50efa3?q=How+to+build+kernel+for+emulator+%2B+android#34e8c50b2b50efa3 In that they mentioned that we can start the emulator with the following command. out/host/linux-x86/bin/emulator -kernel kernel/arch/arm/boot/zImage - system out/target/product/generic/ & But when I try to boot upi with that I got few errors. at the end I end up with the following command to start the ematulor with the prebuilt kernel, $ ~/android_cupcake_old/out/host/linux-x86/bin/emulator -ramdisk ramdisk.img -sysdir . -system system.img -initdata userdata.img -data userdata.image -kernel ~/android_cupcake_old/prebuilt/android-arm/ kernel/kernel-qemu So now the above command launching the emulator fine with the pre- built the kernel. So now I changed the command to launch the emulator with the new built kernel. Here is the command. $ ~/android_cupcake_old/out/host/linux-x86/bin/emulator -ramdisk ramdisk.img -sysdir . -system system.img -initdata userdata.img -data userdata.image -kernel ~/android_cupcake_old/kernel/arch/arm/boot/ zImage So here I am not able to see anything. The terminal looks like it's booting the emulator. But there is nothing coming up. and also there is no messages. Please give me some pointers and suggestions to make my own build of the kernel and launch the emulator using the custom kernel not with the prebuilt.
