android 2.3 emulator hangs after adb shell stop then start

Question

In android 2.2, I was able to start the emulator, then run 'adb shell stop' 'adb shell start' to have the emulator come back up. Since changing to android 2.3 the emulator will not start, and logcat hangs with these messages:

SettingsProvider cache for settings table 'secure' rows=27; fullycached=true qemud fdhandler_accept_event: accepting on fd 9 qemud created client 0x11f88 listening on fd 11 qemud client_fd_receive: attempting registration for service 'hw-control' qemud client_fd_receive: -> received channel id 5 SettingsProvider cache for settings table 'system' rows=45; fullycached=true

I'm using eclipse, thanks for any help!

Answer 1

It might be a problem with one of the long running process re-establishing itself with qemu HW simulation. Kill the process /system/bin/qemud and then start the emulator.

Steps

1. adb shell stop
2. adb shell ps (get the pid of /system/bin/qemud )
3. adb kill <pid_process>
4. adb shell start
