How much froyo is your release compared to the code provide by
android.git.kernel.org?

Hi Hedwin,

Here are the differences between coredruids release and
android.git.kernel.org
1) Android froyo code from android.git.kernel.org has an issue with
battery service while booting, we fixed it.
2) Also we disabled screen lock code.

Thanks,

which there is a build workaround (android x86 reused the eclair
solution). The workaround only fixes the build issues it still does
not work. Also the vendor specific data is now moved to a /device
directory iso /vendor and when comparing there are many more.

Is it your intention to align your froyo release on a regular bases
with changes from android.git.kernel.org froyo release? so it gets
more froyo as in android.git.kernel.org froyo.

Anyway nice job though.

Hi,
I was able to compile and build the binaries. I have created the
sdcard just like I had done earlier for cupcake. But now I am getting
kernel panic "not syncing: Attemped to kill init". Any ideas ?
I am kind of stuck on this for couple of days now.
Any help woudl be highly appreciated.
thanks.

Ugh… that could be a couple of things, including bad memory, but in my experience that most likely means it is simply unable to find the rootfs. Can you post more info? What happens on the console before the “not syncing” message? Meaning, how far does it get?

Hi,

Connect USB keyboard/Mouse to USB EHCI or USB OTG controller(through usb mini B cable) .
It worked for us in both cases.
