For me, this has been happening consistently on my Mac. After running it mostly successfully for weeks, today I can't get the emulator to start successfully.
I haven't really looked through the qemud source code, but at http://gitorious.org/0xdroid/external_qemu/blobs/3a0c4d9eed9ba76e2744258af212b8c1269a24a5/android/hw-qemud.c I notice: 1228 /* we don't expect clients of char. services to exit. Just 1229 * print an error to signal an unexpected situation. We should 1230 * be able to recover from these though, so don't panic. 1231 */ 1232 static void 1233 _qemud_char_client_close( void* opaque ) 1234 { 1235 derror("unexpected qemud char. channel close"); 1236 } Any ideas?
