Hi, I had a similar issue in downloading the kernel source from http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html . What I did after the successful download was to checkout the right branch. Then got the source files.
git branch -r (will list the remote branches) git checkout -t origin/android-goldfish-2.6.29 -b goldfish (will checkout the files - mycase goldfish) Hope this will give some additional help. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1809774/android-kernel-compile-and-test-with-android-emulator I needed the kernel for the emulator, Nexus S no idea.
