HAXM OS X 10.9 Mavericks

[Sena_Gbeckor-Kove]

Attempting to run the current version of HAXM on Mavericks causes a kernel panic. Is this a known issue and any idea when you are plannig on releasing a fix? I understand that the GM version of Mavericks has only just been released to devs so this is more a heads up and a request for for info rather than a complaint.

I've updated all of the HAXM download pages to include the version numbers, so you know whether you're downloading 1.0.6 or 1.0.7. Hope that helps.

The download looks much better now - thanks - have installed the 1.0.7 hotfix now, and will give it a spin later.

Thanks,

Darren.

Just got accidental kernel panic on haxm(1.0.7). It worked before and after this boot.

Update: Seems crashes on is related to bootcamp, every restart after Windows session, i got this kernel panic

Would you be willing to try uninstalling HAXM as a troubleshooting step? That is, uninstall HAXM, try to recreate the kernel panic by booting into Windows, booting back into OS X, and launching an emulator to see if the kernel panic still happens. Then try reinstalling HAXM and see if you can reproduce the issue.

I've shown the HAXM engineering team this issue, and this was their suggestion. If we can definitively pin this down as a HAXM issue, we can escalate to them and see about getting it resolved. Let me know how it goes, and thanks!

To uninstall Intel HAXM on a Mac, open a terminal window and execute this command:

sudo /System/Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/uninstall.sh

You will be prompted for your current user password. Follow the uninstaller prompts to remove Intel HAXM.

Warning: Close all instances of the Android* x86 emulator before removing Intel HAXM. Intel HAXM cannot be removed while in use.

Is this working as expected for everyone with Mavericks and HAXM 1.0.8?  Unfortunately its not for me.  The emulator just sits there not responding.

I can't get the emulator to work at all with x86 images and HAXM... Intel Core2Duo Mac, 8GB Ram, Mavericks, latest Android Studio and APIs, plus HAXM 1.1.1 hotfix: the emulator runs ARM images fine, but x86 images all display "HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode",  and the emulator starts up and freezes on a white screen. I can't find anything useful in the console, and I don't know where to look for HAXM logs.

kextstat | grep intel

gives:

  140    0 0xffffff7f826d1000 0x14000    0x14000    com.intel.kext.intelhaxm (1.1.1) <7 5 4 3 1>

I've tried uninstalling HAXM, reinstalling (the 10.9 and above , allowing unsigned kext files, using the official Intel x86 Android Studio Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer)... etc. to no avail.

I read in the HAXM 1.1.1 (rev5) release notes : "Intel HAXM can only accelerate Android x86 system images for emulator-x86" whereas the emulator displays "emulator-x86_64" as the title, and this seems to be the only emulator that Android Studio will use. It also says on intel.com that "Intel x86 Android* emulator images will automatically be executed using the "emulator-x86" binary". Could that be the problem? 

Thanks for any help or info,

Neil
