Hi all, I try to explain better, i use kernel_goldfish_2-6-29 for android emulator, i enter in menuconfig and select the sd/mmc goldfish driver with "M" option and compile the kernel. After i use this command:
$ make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=./out/target/product/generic/ system Then i enter in root dir of android source and use this command: $ make systemimage but when i boot system in the emulator, i don't find the sd/mmc module. where is my error??
