Hi all, First of all let me thank Dima, Chris (and everyone else involved) for their x86 porting work. This is a much anticipated step, one which will help make Android very useful outside the mobile phone world.
So... I have tried the installer on a small desktop PC - a Asus Nova Lite: http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=11565 and the installer seems as it has run its course well (although it took a lot of time - namely resizing the 250 GB partition), and the nova lite pc now boots from the hard drive. However, Android is not able to boot completely. After a few seconds, the screen goes completely black and never proceeds. By pressing alt+f1 I am able to access the system console (however the system keeps trying to initialize the graphic interface, and I have to press alt+f1 every few seconds to access the console). I apologize for not presenting the dmesg and logcat complete output but I could not figure a quick way to get it out of the box (no network interfaces are recognized and I was unable to mount the usbstick on the console). The errors shown are: dmesg: the surfaceflinger activity has exited due to a segfault - and I can see from the log that it keeps retrying forever. Logcat : /dev/pmem could not be found, as well as lighgl.so. validate_display_surface has failed with error 300 (BAD_DISPLAY_SURFACE) call to OpenGL API has been done with no current context. Do you have any clue of what might be causing the surfaceflinger to fail (is it the lack of drivers?)? Also what do you recommend to troubleshoot these situations (how to get the complete logs out of the test box, and what other troubleshooting tools are available in the android console). Cheers, Filipe --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
