I compiled the kernel without DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU and Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device , the android-x86 can boot graphical UI.

I compiled the kernel with DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU and Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device , the android-x86 can‘t boot graphical UI，but the android-x86 can boot command。

I debug android-x86,the graphical driver has been loaded.

forced resolution in grub , the android-x86 can boot graphical UI.

I compiled the android-x86 kitkat 4.4.4 : http://cloud.letv.com/s/2gOgar1E

Yes, that's a known issue.
You may enable the mesa vmwgfx driver
and start debugging it.

I had that puzzle too.

You need to ensure that squashfs-tools are installed on your system; they'll
be used automatically if they are. This makes the final image a lot smaller.

It is in fact mentioned in the documentation, but (in my opinion) in the wrong
order, because you get led through the process of building the ISO before it
is mentioned that squashfs-tools can help in this way.

Regards,

Antony.

I compiled four iso files.

the android-x86 install Virtual hd.

Why are there four different results?

32bit kernel:

the kernel without DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU and Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device , the android-x86 can boot graphical UI ：android_x86-eng_kitkat_4.4.4_config_default_32bit-kernel.iso

the kernel with DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU and Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device , the android-x86 can‘t boot graphical UI，but the android-x86 can boot command ： android_x86-eng_kitkat_4.4.4_config_32bit-kernel.iso

64bit kernel:

the kernel without DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU and Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device , the android-x86 can‘t boot graphical UI，but the android-x86 can boot graphical UI at CD mode (debug mode)：android_x86-eng_kitkat_4.4.4_config_default_64bit-kernel.iso

the kernel with DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU and Cirrus driver for QEMU emulated device , the android-x86 can‘t boot graphical UI，but the android-x86 can boot command ： android_x86-eng_kitkat_4.4.4_config_64bit-kernel.iso
