Hi,
Last week i was faceing android boot problem.Basically android was not coming up on the LCD.I posted the query on the android-porting mailing list for some kind of solutions. Now i got it resolved, below if copy of the mails from android-porting list, this might be halpful to people who are facing similar problem.

Below are all the posting for Android-porting mailing list:

first posting: description of problem
I am trying to port android on custom board ARM CORTEX-A8 based with
128MB of onenand device.
I can see "android" text coming up on the LCD screen but after that
nothing is coming. I am using YAFFS2 filesystem. Below is log last few
lines:

************************ logcat end***************
These massages keep coming...


please help.

Fourth posting: Got reply from mvniekerk

Have you've checked for read only partitions?

What Android does upon initial bootup it will extract the apk files
into the /data/ folder. If it doesn't have write access it will fail.
Also, if there is no space on the device to extract these it also
won't work.

Fifth Posting: got another problem
Hello again,
i changed my data partition from 11MB to 31MB. Now the logcat massages
has changed as below, please give some pointer if any one have face
similar problem:
