title: How to compile android goldfish 3.4 kernel and run on emulator
body: <p>First let me tell you that I am working on MAC with OS X 10.7.5. I am trying to compile Goldfish 3.4 kernel and run it on emulator. It compiles alright but when I run it the emulator opens and freezes. When I do a "top", I can see the emulator running like crazy but nothing turns up on the screen. Here is how I compiled the kernel</p>
  
  <pre><code>git clone https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/goldfish.git
  git checkout -t origin/android-goldfish-3.4 -b goldfish3.4
  make ARCH=arm goldfish_defconfig
  make ARCH=arm SUBARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/Volumes/androidSpace/android_work/prebuilts/gcc/darwin-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/arm-eabi-
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then I run the emulator via</p>
  
  <pre><code>./emulator -debug init -kernel /Volumes/androidSpace/goldfish/goldfish/arch/arm/boot/zImage -system /Volumes/androidSpace/android_work/out/target/product/generic/system.img -ramdisk /Volumes/androidSpace/android_work/out/target/product/generic/ramdisk.img -avd firstAvd -wipe-data
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is the last part of the debug output from running the emulator</p>
  
  <pre><code>QEMU options list:

  <p>The output just freezes here. Does anybody know the steps to build 3.4 goldfish kernel.</p>
