Running android x86 3.2 tegra on a China Intel atom 450 tablet.
Everything seems to be working perfectly! Except when I try to install
apk's from the web its telling me I need to insert and sd card. I even
have a fake sd card made. Why isn't it allowing me to install apps
from the web? It allows me to install apps from the market fine.
Anyone know of a solution?

I guess, most apps are for some kind of ARM CPU.

That's probably why it isn't working.

Guess I worded that wrong. I cant download the apk file. Its saying I
need a sd card.

If you to to Home -> Menu -> Settings -> Storage, do you see the
available size of the SD card?

When I go to settings, then storage, I see no sd card. It only says
usb storage.

Yupp, sorry, I was mistaken. 3.2 (Honeycomb) is slightly different in
reporting storage compared to 2.3 (Gingerbread). I made a test install
of HOneycomb on VirtualBox and it reports the same as your own
installation; USB storage. Unfortunately I can't get any further,
because Honeycomb hasn't got Ethernet support yet, which means I can't
communicate with Honeycomb through my box.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help, it should work for you.
