I'm having problems compiling a kernel for the emulator. I've got the goldfish repository (https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/goldfish), and I checked out branch 'android-goldfish-2.6.29'.
This puts me at commit: ef9c64a1c I compile the kernel (using 'arm-eabi-gcc' version 4.4.3 from the prebuilts. When I use this kernel with the emulator, it hangs after the message 'Uncompressing Linux....... done, booting the kernel.' (using 'emulator -show-kernel') I checked out the git log for the prebuilt emulator kernel (prebuilts/qemu-kernel/arm/kernel-qemu-armv7), and it references commit id 46b05b2fc05 (which is in my tree). So I tried that, but with the same result. The prebuilt kernel mentions a commit id of 497e41. Linux version 2.6.29-gc497e41 (kr...@kennyroot.mtv.corp.google.com) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #2 Thu Dec 8 15:07:43 PST 2011 I looked around for that commit, but couldn't find that in the goldfish repository. I'm not sure what to do next. Am I using the right toolchain? What is this other toolchain in the prebuilts area: arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.x ?? Should I be using this instead for the kernel? I'm stumped. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Has anyone else gotten this working recently?
