This is what I am trying to do on my x86 desktop: Run Android on Ubuntu 2.6.27 kernel.
For that I took generic 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel and patched it with Android kernel changes. Then boot into the modified kernel, mount android filesystem, and run /init (to start Android). Technically it should have worked, correct? So far, I've been able to patch, compile and run the 2.6.27 kernel. Now the next step was for me to run Android (zygote/DVM). This is where I am stuck. I've prepared a partition on my drive (/dev/sda3) that has the root filesystem for Android. However, I dont know how to tell GRUB to mount this filesystem after booting into my patched kernel. I modified grub/menu.lst to include root=/dev/sda3 in the kernel command line, however, that didn't work either (errored out and dropped me in the initramfs shell). I know I'm missing some links here, and would really appreciate if anyone can point me to the right direction. Thanks, --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
