Some additions to build the kernel for VMWare/VirtualBox:
Hope it helps:
$cd mydroid
$cp vendor/asus/eee_701/kernel.config kernel/.config
$cd kernel
$make menuconfig
Select the device drivers:
For network card:
network device support ->
Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) --->
[*] EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers
<*> AMD PCnet32 PCI support
For VESAFB:
Graphics support --->
<*> Support for frame buffer devices --->
[*] VESA VGA graphics support
Console display driver support --->
<*> Framebuffer Console support
[*] Select compiled-in fonts
[*] VGA 8x8 font
[*] VGA 8x16 font
In order to build correctly with 2.6.27, you may apply the patch from here:
http://review.source.android.com/6751
For command line option of vga=788, several approaches:
1. append the option when the system boots, when it shows the menu,
you can press 'e' to edit the default entry(2). then 'd' to delete the
first option line: "cmdline ... ", then 'e' the 0 entry, which is the
line of " kernel --use-cmd ...",
remove the "--use-cmd-line" and append the option
"androidboot.hardware=eee_701 vga=788" at end of that line
then choose boot. It will enter the vesafb mode correctly. But you
may need to edit it every time when boot.
2. modify the cmdline in /dev/block/sda3, you can mount it after you
have successfully boot. to append "vga=788" to cmdline file:
#mkdir /data/boot
#mount -t ext2 /dev/block/sda3 /data/boot
#echo " vga=788" >/data/boot/cmdline
#umount /data/boot
then reboot the vm
3. modify the cmdline creation step in the build, i think you can get
the in bootable/diskinstaller/config.mk, then you may need to rebuild
the instaler.img and reinstall it to your vm.
Hope it helps!
